Fig. 2.10. Bent shaft: 1 – gear wheel of the drive of a balancing shaft; 2 – oil channel; 3 – counterbalance

The bent shaft (see fig. 2.10) has 5 necks and 8 counterbalances. Bearings of a bent shaft are reduced on width for decrease in friction. Increase in accuracy of production and decrease in a roughness of a surface of necks of a shaft allowed to reduce friction. The gear wheel of the drive of a balancing shaft is established on a bent shaft. A bent shaft – steel shod.
