A device for self-balancing a rotating part, such as a propeller, along a given axis is disclosed. The propeller 102 coupled to, a drive shaft with freedom for linear movement along longitudinal axis L-L; at least one pair of levers 614/616, comprising a first lever 614-1/616-1 and a second lever 614-2/616-2, that are pivotally mounted on mounting plate 606 at two diametrically opposite points 618; and at least one pair of weights 622 fixed at external ends of the levers 614/616. inner ends of levers 614/616 are operatively coupled to the propeller 102 such that when propeller 102 undergoes a linear movement in any direction along the longitudinal, axis L-L due to unbalance, inner ends of levers are, moved to cause the weights 622 to move to provide a balancing force to neutralize the unbalance in the propeller. An embodiment with only one pair of levers is also disclosed.
