BW6 – Balance Weigths – Notes Steel 30.0 Gram / 1.05oz – Weight 01.05

BW6 Steel Balance Weight -- 30.0 Gram (1.05 oz)

A common mistake during driveshaft balancing is grabbing the closest weight available rather than the correct mass. The BW6 is a round-profile steel balance weight weighing exactly 30.0 grams (1.05 oz). When your balancing machine calls for roughly one ounce of correction, this is the weight to reach for -- not a lighter BW5 or a heavier combination that throws off the correction plane.

Steel construction gives the BW6 a smaller physical footprint than an equivalent aluminum weight, which matters on smaller-diameter tubes where real estate is tight. The round profile sits flush against the tube and accepts a standard weld bead without warping or rolling during tack-welding.

Used by driveshaft rebuild shops, OEM assembly lines, and mobile driveshaft balancing services. Always confirm the weight requirement from the balancing machine readout before selection -- adding even 5 grams over the correction amount moves the residual imbalance to the opposite correction plane and forces a second pass.
