2. Balance shaft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_shaft

   Balance shafts are used in piston engines to reduce vibration by cancelling out unbalanced dynamic forces. The counter balance shafts have eccentric weights and rotate in opposite direction to each other, which generates a net vertical force. The balance shaft was invented and patented by British engineer Frederick W. Lanchester in 1907.

3. Engine balance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

   These take the form of a pair of balance shafts that rotate in opposite directions at twice engine speed, known as Lanchester shafts, after the original manufacturer. In V8 engines , the problem is usually avoided by using a cross-plane crankshaft , and a 180° or single-plane crankshaft is used only in high-performance V8 engines, where it ...

4. Drive shaft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_shaft

   A drive shaft, driveshaft, driving shaft, tailshaft (Australian English), propeller shaft (prop shaft), or Cardan shaft (after Girolamo Cardano) is a component for transmitting mechanical power, torque, and rotation, usually used to connect other components of a drivetrain that cannot be connected directly because of distance or the need to ...

6. Shaft alignment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaft_alignment

   When a driver like an electric motor or a turbine is coupled to a pump, generator, or any other piece of equipment, the shafts of the two pieces must be aligned. Any misalignment increases the stress on the shafts and will almost certainly result in excessive wear and premature breakdown of the equipment. [citation needed] This can be very costly.

7. Shaft (mechanical engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaft_(mechanical_engineering)

   The following stresses are induced in the shafts. Shear stresses due to the transmission of torque (due to torsional load). Bending stresses (tensile or compressive) due to the forces acting upon the machine elements like gears and pulleys as well as the self weight of the shaft. Stresses due to combined torsional and bending loads.
