OSTI ID:6924294
This patent describes a single-cylinder engine comprising a crank shaft, a crank web connected to the crank shaft, a connecting rod connected to the crank web through a crank pin, a cylinder, and a piston connected to the connecting rod to move in reciprocatory movement within the cylinder. An engine balancing system is described comprising: a counter balancer supported by the crank web; and a single primary balancer rotatably supported by a shaft extending parallel to the crank shaft. The single primary balancer is driven to rotate at a velocity equal to that of the counterbalancer in a direction opposite to a direction of rotation of the counterbalancer; wherein a center line of the cylinder of the engine deviates from a center of rotation of the crank shaft toward the single primary balancer.
