Abstract
The invention relates to an arrangement for at least partially compensating a torque caused by gravitational forces acting on a mass body (), which is rotatably supported on an axis of rotation (). The arrangement includes a gas pressure spring () for providing a linear force. This linear force is transformed into a torque by means of a converter unit (). The mass body () and the converter unit () can be coupled to each other in a way which allows for adjusting the amplitude and the phase of a compensating torque.
