Abstract
A device for feeding and attaching corrective elements for unbalance correction on propeller shafts in a balancing machine includes an attachment device positionable longitudinally to the rotor axis, with a receptacle for receiving a corrective element attachable to the outer rotor circumference. Associated with the balancing machine is a supply unit supplying corrective elements measured for the individual unbalance correction. A feeding device feeds supplied corrective elements to the attachment device and includes a transfer shuttle for performing reciprocating movements between the supply unit and the attachment device on a guideway parallel to the rotor axis via a controllable motion drive mechanism. The transfer shuttle includes a loading device for performing an active loading operation by displacing a corrective element from a receptacle of the transfer shuttle into the receptacle of the attachment device, the loading device being driven via the controllable motion drive mechanism of the transfer shuttle.
