Abstract:
A device for attaching compensation weight with an adhesive layer onto an attachment surface of a rotatable component, for purposes of unbalance compensation, the device having holding means with two holding parts to secure a compensation weight, a pressing element between the holding parts applying a pressing force for pressing a rear surface of the compensation weight opposite from the adhesive layer, guide means for guiding the holding means to an unbalance compensation site of the attachment surface where the compensation weight is pressed onto the rotatable component, and wherein the pressing element has a pressing surface deformable as a function of the pressing force and on which a rear surface of the compensation weight is positioned, the pressing surface in an unstressed basic position of the pressing element having a shape whereby the pressing force is transferred to the middle section of the compensation weight, and, as the pressing force increases, the pressing surface is deformed in such a way that the pressing force is also transferred onto the ends of the compensation weight, and wherein the pressing element has a leaf spring with oppositely bent sections on its opposite ends attached to a part of the holding means, and wherein the leaf spring has a middle section forming the pressing surface.
