An aircraft system/method for propeller balancing. The system includes an inboard driver with a first and second inboard electromagnetic coil, the inboard driver and the first counterweight balancing rotor and the second counterweight balancing rotor centered around the aircraft propeller shaft rotating machine member with the first inboard electromagnetic coil proximate the first inboard magnets of the first counterweight balancing rotor, with the inboard electromagnetic coil driver proximate the rotation axis of the aircraft propeller shaft rotating machine member and the first counterweight balancing rotor outboard of the inboard electromagnetic coil driver with the first inboard electromagnetic coil generating a electromagnetic field to electromagnetically step the first inboard magnets of the at least first counterweight balancing rotor to electromagnetically actuate rotational movement of the first counterweight balancing rotor around the rotating machine member and relative to the inboard electromagnetic coil driver to a first rotor held balancing position.

Aircraft propeller balancing system

An aircraft system and method with a first counterweight rotating balancing rotor mass concentration, and a second counterweight rotating balancing rotor mass concentration to balance a first aircraft propeller. The system includes an inboard electromagnetic coil driver with a first inboard electromagnetic coil, and a second inboard electromagnetic coil, the inboard electromagnetic coil driver and the first counterweight balancing rotor and the second counterweight balancing rotor centered around the aircraft propeller shaft rotating machine member. The system/method utilizes a first control system controller to control the coils and position the mass concentrations to balance the first aircraft propeller. The system/method includes a third counterweight rotating balancing rotor mass concentration, and a fourth counterweight rotating balancing rotor mass concentration to balance a second aircraft propeller which positioned and controlled by a second control system controller.
