A dynamic balancing assembly for a laundry apparatus includes a control unit, one or more counterweight devices, and one or more clocksprings. The one or more counterweight devices are configured to be orbited about a primary rotation axis of the laundry apparatus to counteract a load imbalance in a drum of the laundry apparatus.
