ARRANGEMENT OF A BALANCING DEVICE IN AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE CRANKCASE

摘要

The invention relates to the arrangement of a balancing device in a casing, for a reciprocating piston engine, which permits the evacuation of the lubricating oil. The device comprises two balancing shafts (7, 8) disposed in a main part (19) of the casing (11) and each fastened to one or two intermeshing pinions (21, 22) situated in an auxiliary part of the casing. A bottom oil passage (25a) provided between the two parts of the casing enables the pinions, acting as a draining pump, to fully drain the casing.
