Design of Partial Bearing Journal of Light Weight Balancer
Abstract:The oscillating movement of crank mechanism in piston engines produces free mas- sive forces that are compensated by means of balancer shafts with specific unbalance. Based on an expedient arrangement of unbalanced masses and a new design of the bearing points, a partial bearing principle has been developed, which provides considerable weight reduction as compared to the conventional balancer shaft geometry.
