Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for dispensing an amount of imbalance correction weight for attachment to a rotary element to reduce an imbalance in the rotary element. The imbalance correction weight includes a number of individual weights provided on a length of double-sided adhesive tape. A guide directs the imbalance correction weight through a channel provided by the guide toward a tape divider. A driver pulls a protective backing away from the tape causing the imbalance correction weight to move through the channel toward the tape divider. A sensor counts the individual weights that move past it. When the sensor has counted a desired number of individual weights, a controller instructs the driver to stop pulling on the protective backing thereby stopping movement of the imbalance correction weight and then instructs the tape divider to divide the tape to provide the amount of imbalance correction weight. A weight applicator automatically receives the amount of imbalance correction weight and is operable to attach it to the rotary element.

Abstract: A weight for correcting imbalance in a rotary element includes a number of discrete weights. The number of discrete weights is selected to substantially correct the imbalance. A piece of double sided tape has sufficient length for the number of discrete weights to be adhered to the length of double sided tape. A removable film protects the side of the tape opposite the side to which the discrete weights are adhered. The film reduces the likelihood of contamination until the film is removed to expose the side of the tape opposite the side to which the discrete weights are adhered, permitting the weight to be applied to the rotary element.

Abstract: A load cell mounting arrangement for a load cell having first and second ends and a pair of output terminals across which an output signal appears when the load cell is subjected to compressive stress exerted between the first and second ends. The mounting arrangement comprises first and second mechanical interface members for positioning between a first surface and a second surface between which the load cell is to measure compressive stress. The first and second mechanical interface members have first and second mechanical interface member interface surfaces, respectively. The first and second mechanical interface member interface surfaces contact the first and second surfaces, respectively, each substantially at a point. First and second coupling collars permit non-compressive relative movement between the first and second surfaces, respectively, and the first and second mechanical interface member interface surfaces, respectively, substantially without altering the load cell output signal.

Abstract: A storage rack with moveable lifting jacks. The rack includes horizontally extending members joined but spaced apart by a pair of upper and a pair of lower cross members. Two upright posts extend above the horizontally extending support members and are secured in place by the cross members. A powered lifting jack and a follower lifting jack each include tongues insertable between the horizontally extending support members at the opposite ends of the rack. The tongues are biased between the upper and lower cross members preventing the pivotal motion of the tongues which are mounted to wheels rotatably mounted to frames having hydraulic cylinder motors mounted thereatop. Piston rods are extendable from the hydraulic cylinder motors and are attached to the tongues to apply lifting force in an upward direction along an axis extending through the wheel axis of rotation applying lifting force to the opposite ends of the rack.

Abstract: A rotary element dynamic imbalance determining apparatus includes a spindle having a first end for removably supporting a rotary element the imbalance of which is to be determined, and a housing for rotatably mounting the spindle. An output signal related to imbalance in the supported rotary element is generated as the spindle rotates. A rotary fluid coupling comprises a chamber between the spindle and housing, a port in the housing for coupling the chamber to a source of compressed air and a one-way fluid seal for dividing the chamber into a first portion and a second portion. A passageway extends along the spindle from the second portion to the first end of the spindle to supply inflating air thereto.
