More Information
Summary:An internal combustion engine includes a crankshaft including an outer crankshaft gear and an in-line balance shaft system coupled to the crankshaft. The in-line balance shaft system is configured to balance reciprocating inertial forces of the internal combustion engine, the in-line balance shaft system is configured to provide concurrent and counter-rotating balance forces. The in-line balance shaft system includes a planetary gear set coupled to the crankshaft. The planetary gear set is coupled to the outer crankshaft gear such rotation of the crankshaft drives the planetary gear set. The planetary gear set includes an input gear and an output gear. The input gear is coupled to the crankshaft such that rotation of the crankshaft causes rotation of the input gear.
