Flywheel
Considered engines are equipped with special sectional (two-mass) flywheels. The meaning of such a device is to reduce flywheel torque variations inevitably occurring on the crankshaft due to the nature of the working process of the internal combustion engine, and to prevent the further transmission of these vibrations to the transmission. The use of a flywheel reduces noise generated by the torsional vibrations. The design of the flywheel is as follows: front-wheel drive flywheel is rigidly fixed to the crankshaft. This disc is mounted vibration damper, which is a structure consisting of springs and rocker arms. The back of the hand wheel is attached to the vibration damper and has no rigid connection with the front disk flywheel. Thus, the clutch mounted on a rear disk flywheel connected to the engine via a damper.
