<p>An internal combustion engine the drive shaft (100) of which drives at least one balancer shaft (102) via a chain (101). The drive shaft is connected to the chain via a sprocket (3). The sprocket (3) has a two-part construction (1, 2; 3). The two parts are coupled through a number of springs (40). Any fluctuations of torque applied to the sprocket are absorbed substantially only by deformation of the springs (40). A number of snubber springs (44) are provided to reduce the impact between the two-part of the sprocket during peak loads.</p> |
