ABSTRACT:
A half speed balancer for unbalanced mechanisms such as internal combustion engines comprises an Oldham coupling device with a central coupler that orbits in a curved (usually circular) path at a frequency twice the speed of the coupling rotation. The balancer substitutes for an equivalent rotating eccentric weight when driven at only half the rotational speed thus causing reduced bearing friction and noise and may be used in multiples like eccentric weights to offset various unbalance conditions.
