Abstract

A mass balancing mechanism for balancing mass forces and/or mass torques of an internal combustion engine, said mechanism comprising a balancing shaft comprising an axis of rotation, a mass center of gravity spaced from said axis of rotation and further comprising at least one bearing peg on which said balancing shaft is mounted for rotation in a mounting location of the internal combustion engine, the bearing peg includes two axially spaced cylindrical bearing peg sections that define a recess which extends substantially or entirely outside of the axis of rotation relative to the mass center of gravity.
