Harmonic Vibration – sounds musical, right? For your Chevy, however,
there is nothing musical about harmonic vibration, and there is nothing
in it that would actually please you. Harmonic vibration in a vehicle
is a torsional vibration on the vehicle's crankshaft caused by the
power transmitted to it by the engine. If not prevented, this vibration
may cause a lot of damages including crankshaft cracking or failure,
excessive bearing wear, failure of rotating or reciprocating engine
parts, excessive gear wear, and the likes.
So, how can one prevent harmonic vibrations in the vehicle's
crankshaft? The harmonic balancer, sometimes called the crank pulley
damper or vibration damper, seems to provide all the answers. The
harmonic balancer is a type of pulley attached to the front end of the
engine's crankshaft, designed to reduce harmonic or torsional
vibrations produced in it. Harmonic balancers are usually made up of
three pieces. The first piece is an inner steel ring that bolts to the
crankshaft. Then there's an outer steel ring with grooves for the belt.
In between these two rings is the actual damper, which may be a rubber
disk, spring loaded friction discs, or both.
Now, this is how a typical harmonic damper works. The power
created by the vehicle's engine would be transferred to the crankshaft,
normally creating a twisting motion that would further result to
harmonic vibrations. With the harmonic balancer, however, the rubber
disc between the balancer's two steel rings is the one twisted instead
of the crankshaft. This allows the crankshaft to operate calmly, thus
reducing the vibration.
The Chevrolet harmonic balancer comes as standard equipment
for new Chevrolet cars, trucks, vans and SUVs. These factory-installed
dampers are guaranteed to be tough and designed to last for a long
time. But since these crank pulley dampers are subjected to a lot of
movements and force, they would normally wear out in time. Excessive
engine vibration, irregular idling of the engine, failure in the
alternator, power steering pump, A/C or water pump, and noisy drive
belts are but a few of the signs that your Chevy harmonic balancer is
already worn out or have failed. Such symptoms would usually call for
immediate harmonic balancer replacement – that is if you don't want
your Chevy to incur greater damages.
