Chevy CK Pickup Engine Balance Shafts

Unknown to most car users, balance shafts are simple eccentric devices used in some unbalanced engine configurations to compensate for vibrations that can affect the overall comfort in the cabin. While in some engine configurations these forces are naturally balanced by the opposing forces produced in the cylinders, in other configurations a balancing mechanism is required. For example, in inline four-cylinder engines, the asymmetrical position of the working pistons results in a vertical force which increases with RPM. Balance shafts are commonly used in most vehicles, including some models of the Chevy CK Pickup.

A typical balance shaft assembly consists of two counter-rotating weights, accurately designed to generate frequencies that neutralize a specific range of engine vibrations, namely the low frequencies.
