Abstract

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.
