The Harmonic Balancer found in Chevrolet Corvette automobiles revolves with the crank shaft in order to balance the engine and to pre vent substantial torsional vibrations produced by combustion. This often comprises of a steel wheel bolted on the crankshaft, encompassed by an internal steel metal inertia ring and an external rubber inertia ring which can flex. Hence, the pulling of the crankshaft is balanced by the harmonically balancing ensures steady working of the engine and the elimination of certain dangers. Chevrolet Corvette has used different varieties of harmonic balancer such as conventional, viscous fluid and even multi-part tunable designs. For factory tuned engines, standard original equipment balancers are provided, however, performance harmonic balancers can be purchased for modified Corvettes to give protection against higher vibrations at higher RPM levels. These performance options are thoroughly endorsed to meet the performance standards especially where the weather condition is a constrain.
