  • Crankshaft
    Patent number: 11578648
    Abstract: A crankshaft in which vibrations can be damped effectively without changing a design of a crankcase. The crankshaft comprises a first crank section located at one end of the crankshaft, and a second crank section located at the other end of the crankshaft. In the first crank section, a mass of a first inner balance weight is greater than a mass of a first outer balance weight. In the second crank section, a mass of a second inner balance weight is greater than a mass of a second outer balance weight.

  • Timing chain cover and mounting structure for timing chain cover
    Patent number: 11506142
    Abstract: Provided is a timing chain cover that allows suppressing vibration transmission. A timing chain cover of the present disclosure houses a timing chain transmitting a rotative force of a crankshaft to a camshaft in one end side of an internal combustion engine. The timing chain cover includes a chain cover main body and a damping resin layer formed on an abutment surface of the chain cover main body. The abutment surface abuts on an internal combustion engine main body. The damping resin layer contains a heat resistant resin and a damping filler. The damping filler converts a vibration energy into a heat energy.
