In a reciprocating-piston engine including operating cylinders, a piston associated with each cylinder, a crankshaft with crankpins, and piston rods for connecting the pistons to the crankpins, a mass balancing arrangement has a balancing mass connecting rod connected to the crankshaft, a balancing mass connected to the balancing mass connecting rod, and a rocker arm for guiding the balancing mass with one end connected to the balancing mass connecting rod and with the other end connected to an extension of a piston rod beyond its connection to a crankpin. A rocker arm or a pair of rocker arms could be used with each balancing mass, depending upon the arrangement of the cylinders. |
