2. Balance shaft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_shaft

   Balance shaft in Ford Taunus V4 engine. 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 ...

3. Engine balance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

   Engine balance refers to how the inertial forces produced by moving parts in an internal combustion engine or steam engine are neutralised with counterweights and balance shafts, to prevent unpleasant and potentially damaging vibration. The strongest inertial forces occur at crankshaft speed (first-order forces) and balance is mandatory, while ...

4. Jackshaft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackshaft

   The oldest uses of the term jackshaft appear to involve shafts that were intermediate between water wheels or stationary steam engines and the line shafts of 19th century mills. [1] [2] In these early sources from New England mills in 1872 and 1880, the term "jack shaft" always appears in quotes. Another 1872 author wrote: "Gear wheels are used ...

5. 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. Harmonic damper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_damper

   A harmonic damper is a device fitted to the free (accessory drive) end of the crankshaft of an internal combustion engine to counter torsional and resonance vibrations from the crankshaft. This device must be an interference fit to the crankshaft in order to operate in an effective manner. An interference fit ensures the device moves in perfect ...
