Harmonic Balancer Information

Why are Harmonic Balancer Part(s) Important

The Harmonic Balancer is one of the few access points between your external engine components and the internal engine. So while all the magic of combustion driven mechanical revolutions takes place out of sight, the external engine components provide necessary access to the internal engine.

The engine block peeks through at various points such as where the expansion plugs are pressed in. There are other key points on the external engine; the motor mounts where the motor is harnessed into the chassis; the oil pan and oil filter housing; the various covers like the timing cover, valve covers etc. In between those components and the engine block, you’ll find the various gaskets, seals and O-rings that protect your internal mechanics from outside contamination. The harmonic balancer is an integral part of that system.

The harmonic balancer attaches to the crankshaft in order to stabilize it rotations and counteract any abnormalities in the tremendous centrifugal force exerted by the crankshaft. A popular design uses a layer of rubber in between an inner and out ring of metal. This way vibration can be absorbed and dispersed.
