ENGINE AND LOW VIBRATION CRANKSHAFT THEREFOR A low vibration crankshaft has crankarms of decreasing inertia/mass and stiffness as their distance torsional vibration node of the rotating vibration system increases. The mass and stiffness of the crankarms may be varied by changing the lateral width of the arms or by other means. The arrangement provides, in combination with an engine or other reciprocating piston machine, an increased or maximized torsional vibration resonant frequency and resulting lower or minimized angular deflections of the crankshaft in the condition of system resonance. |
