<p>A reciprocating engine, preferably a high speed internal combustion engine, includes means for reducing vibration.</p><p>The engine has at least one piston 10, a connecting rod 12 connected at one end to the piston and at the other end to a crankshaft 14. A pair of balancing links 17, 17' are pivotally mounted on the crankshaft and guide links 19, 19' constrain the balancing links to follow paths generally normal to the crankshaft axis and in opposition to the piston.</p><p>The guide links extend in opposite directions and are attached to the balancing links and to a fixed point 22 to balance out the vibrational forces of the engine.</p> |
