Structure Design and Development of Engine Crankshaft Damper

Abstract

Engine crankshaft damper is mainly used to reduce the axial vibration of combustion engines. Vibrations generated in engine assembly are very large in amount. To reduce their impact, and axial vibration damper is installed between the crankshaft and casing. Its technical state directly influences the lifetime as well as the performance of the engine. In this project, diagnosing, designing, and testing axial vibration dampers used in engines will be discussed. To minimize the impact of axial vibration, a damper is installed between the crankshaft and casing. A float of the crankshaft will cause damage to the casing. Hence a soft damper is used to maintain a soft cushioning between casing and crankshaft.
