Dodge Ram Engine Balance Shafts

Balance shafts are commonly used in inline engines, which, because of certain design asymmetries, suffer from an inherent vibration that can’t be eliminated, regardless of exactly how well their internal parts are balanced. The vibration itself occurs because in an even-firing inline engine the connecting rods’ movements are not symmetrical all through the crankshaft rotation. Which is exactly why during a certain time of crankshaft rotation, the ascending and descending engine pistons are not always 100% opposed in their acceleration, while creating a net vertical force, whose intensity increases with RPMs, regardless of exactly how closely the actual components are balanced for weight.
