Abstract

A clamp (20, 50) for balancing can be mounted on the circumference of a rotating body (10) on a part (12) that tapers to a thin-walled end. The clamps (20, 50) has a U-shaped cross-sectional profile with at least one tip (28, 30) formed onto one leg (24, 26), which tip protrudes into the interior (36) of the U-shaped cross-sectional profile and extends in inclined fashion toward the connecting part (32) of the legs (24, 26).
