COMPENSATION SHAFT

Abstract

The invention relates to a balance shaft comprising: - an unbalance shaft (1) having an unbalance section (9, 10, 11, 12) and an adjacent bearing pin (3, 4) with an only partially cylindrical circumference, the cylindrical part-circumference (7) of which is oriented towards the unbalanced shaft mass, - a bearing ring (5) which surrounds the bearing pin, bears against the cylindrical part-circumference and delimits a free space together with a radially opposite bearing pin back, - and a clamping element (15) which is clamped in the free space and clamps the bearing ring radially against the cylindrical part-circumference. The clamping element is intended to secure the bearing ring against axial sliding on the bearing pin on both sides, the clamping element being connected in an axially interlocking manner to the unbalance shaft on one side and to the bearing ring on the other side.
