  • Actuator arrangement for applying a torque to a shaft, in particular a crankshaft of a reciprocating piston engine, and a corresponding method
    Patent number: 10619704
    Abstract: An actuator arrangement for applying a torque to a shaft of a machine, in particular a reciprocating piston engine, includes: a) at least one actuator device for applying the torque; and b) at least one rotatable seismic mass coupled to the shaft. The at least one actuator device is designed to apply the torque to the shaft between the seismic mass and the shaft. A corresponding method is provided for active damping of torsional vibrations of the shaft having the actuator arrangement.
