MODULE FOR COMPENSATING FOR INERTIAL FORCES AND/OR TORQUES OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE, AND INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

摘要

The invention relates to a module (15) for compensating for inertial forces and/or torques of an internal combustion engine (1), having a basic body (17) which can be attached to the internal combustion engine (1) and on which at least one balancing shaft (19) with a first drive wheel (35) and an oil pump (75) with a second drive wheel (31) are arranged, wherein the first and the second drive wheel (31, 35) are arranged in a common plane at least substantially outside the basic body (17) such than they can be driven by an endless drawing means (39). There is provision here for at least one cover (49) to be arranged on the basic body (17) which can dip at least in regions into an oil bath (47) of an oil trough of the internal combustion engine (1), which cover (49) extends at least over the drive wheels (31, 35) and has an oil-level equalizing opening (53) which can be arranged in the oil bath (47) by the dipping. Furthermore, the invention relates to an internal combustion engine (1).
