Modern diesel engines are used in many fields today. While performance, safety and driving comfort are among the most requested features, vibration is a serious problem. One of the most important factors that cause these vibrations to occur is undoubtedly the engines. Especially the crank mechanism creates serious vibrations. At this point, the engine balancer comes into play to eliminate crankshaft harmonics and absorb dynamic forces such as excessive inertia and vibration. In this study, studies were carried out for the design of ideal balancer to reduce vibrations of the engine structure.
