ABSTRACT:
A noise suppressing mechanism for balance gear system of an engine crankshaft is disclosed. The balance gear system includes a primary gear, a secondary gear, and a torsional spring and is fit on a balance shaft. The noise suppressing mechanism includes a circular flange formed on the primary gear and the secondary gear forms a central bore rotatably fit over the circular flange for free rotation about the circular flange with respect to the primary gear. The torsional spring is arranged between the primary and secondary gears. The primary gear forming a securing hole in which a stem section of a limiting pin is received and fixed. The secondary gear forms a through hole in which a head section of the limiting pin is accommodated with a gap formed between the head section and an inside diameter of the through hole. The gap allows for a limited angular shift of the secondary gear with respect to the primary gear. Such an arrangement provides a noise suppressing mechanism having less number of parts and being ready to assemble.
