Zusammenfassung:	A system for balancing a rotating assembly (50) including a gas turbine engi ne (10) is provided that includes a plurality of couplers (100) configured to couple th e engine to a rotating load (12) such that torque from the engine is transmitted to the rotating load through the plurality of couplers. Each coupler includes a head portion (106 ), an elongated shank portion (110) extending from the head portion along a longitudinal axis (112) of the coupler, and a threaded stud (120) extending from the head portion along the longitudinal axis and opposite the shank portion. A balance weight (122) is configured to be coupled to each of the plurality of couplers.
