Crankshaft Dampers

Crankshaft Dampers are vital components in controlling torsional vibrations produced by engine rotation. Mounted to the front of the crankshaft, they work alongside the crankshaft pulley to absorb harmonic oscillations and reduce stress on internal engine components. This helps extend the life of the crankshaft and improve overall engine smoothness and durability.

In addition to managing vibration, crankshaft dampers contribute to maintaining proper alignment of the crankshaft seal, which prevents oil leaks, and they help protect the integrity of surrounding parts like the crankshaft bearing. In high-performance or heavy-duty engines, where rotational forces are more intense, a well-balanced damper also supports the longevity of the crankshaft casting by minimizing distortion and fatigue under load.
