Abstract
A device for balancing a turbomachine rotor includes at least one counterweight fitted to the rotor, wherein the counterweight includes two radial bearing surfaces oriented in two opposite radial directions, the said surfaces interacting with two radial bearing surfaces made on the rotor, the counterweight being held against the rotor by an axial retention device. In particular, the axial retention device can be a bolt with a nut, the bolt holding the counterweight against a coupling flange fixed ly attached to the rotor, including an axial bearing surface and the radial bearing surfaces.
