Abstract

A reciprocating piston engine, in particular an internal combustion engine with at least one cylinder in which a piston connected with a crankshaft is driven so it can move back and forth. The crankshaft (1) is connected with at least one cam disk turning with it. The cam disc has a control profile which acts as an actuator on at least one additional unit, in particular a compensating weight.
