This paper presents a simple technique for the balancing of two types of watt mechanisms. The mathematical basis for the realization of the method is static and dynamic substitution of distributed masses by concentrated point masses. Shaking force is balanced by the method of redistribution of masses and adding force counterweights. Shaking moment is balanced by mounting geared inertia counterweights. The proposed method is illustrated by a numerical example which proves that better results are produced compared to the results of previous method.

Keywords: Shaking force balancing, shaking moment balancing, Watt mechanisms.
