CAD/CAM MODELING TECHNOLOGIES APPLICATION FOR STATIC BALANCING OF THE SINGLE CYLINDER ENGINE CRANKSHAFT
The static balancing of a single-cylinder diesel engine crankshaft at the design stage was considered using modern CAD/CAM modeling technologies. The creation of digital models of the designed crank mechanism parts was done. The basic conditions for static balancing of the crankshaft were determined and the balancing weight parameters were calculated. According to the static balancing results, there were justified the changes in the crankshaft parameters in order to reduce vibrations and premature wear of the crankshaft, bypassing the full-scale experiment.
