A propeller rotor has a hub mounting a plurality of blades and a drive shaft for driving the hub and the blades about a central axis. A motor to change its position is operably connected to drive at least one counterweight. A sensor senses vibration on the propeller rotor and communicates with a controller. The controller controls the motor to change a position of the counterweight in response to a sensed imbalance. A method of operating a propeller rotor is also disclosed.
