Part of the inertial force is eliminated under the counterweight of the connecting rod, but there is still a part of the inertial force that participates in the rotational motion and cannot be balanced. Therefore, the balance shaft that can eliminate this vibration is an important part of the gasoline engine. It can make the gasoline engine work more smoothly and smoothly, and improve driving comfort. There are two types of balance shafts used in gasoline engines: double balance shafts and single balance shafts. The double balance shaft uses a chain drive to drive the two balance shafts to rotate.
