How do I align equations in a multicols environment

I use the following code
beginmulticols2
noindent
beginequation
F_besch=m_fzg cdot a_trans
labeleq:trans
endequation
beginequation
M_besch=sum_n=1^nJ_n cdot dotomega_n
labeleq:rot
endequation
endmulticols
to write two equations in one line.
As it can be seen in the picture, the equations are not exactly aligned (propably due to the sum).
How can they be aligned?

You can use two minipages side by side and a vphantom
in the l.h.s. equation. As your indices look like words, it's better to type them as text.

I think you're abusing the multicols
environment. Consider using two side-by-side minipage
environments -- each of width 0.45textwidth
-- instead.

I guess that you'd like to have just these two equations in parallel. For this, it is better suited to use a tabular
environment with the m
column type (from the package array
):

Notice the b
alignment option to align baselines.
I have also added mathit
to your multi-letter supbscripts for better spacing; mathrm
may be actually more appropriate depending on the context.
