Now that your Kia is equipped with a Kia harmonic balancer you will surely feel the difference it makes to your driving activities. Smooth and comfortable ride is optimized and sets you free from worrying sudden engine trouble are just among the few good things that the Kia harmonic balancer can do to you. This is because, engine vibration was dampened and driving traction was greatly improved. The Kia harmonic balancer is a device integrated in the engine system to lessen if can not be totally eliminated the vibrations that are produced when the engine is operational. It perfectly brings out a harmonious drive that has never been when harmonic balancer is not yet introduced in the automotive engineering.
The Kia harmonic balancer is mounted in the front portion of the engine’s crankshaft where most of the cylinder pressure falls onto. During the mixture of air and fuel, torque spike is produced which increases the rate of the cylinder pressure. This pressure comes in contact with the crankshaft through the connecting rod. The cylinder pressure hits the crankshaft with enough intensity to cause it to turn and twist or deflects the crankshaft. The twisting motion creates the torsional vibration and when it becomes excessive, it can already be felt by the vehicle’s occupants. This is the annoying effect that brings uncomfortable and unpleasant Kia ride.
The components that comprise a Kia harmonic balancer include steel on the outer and inner part which is attached to the crankshaft and a rubber or spring loaded discs at the center. When the cylinder pressure hits the front portion of the crankshaft, it twists the damper but ends up twisting the rubber of the harmonic balancer. The result is low speed on the crankshaft’s motion and consequently speeds up the damper wheel. This process keeps the operation of the crankshaft calm and smooth. When the Kia harmonic balancer fails it causes the timing marks to drift.
The Kia harmonic balancer prolongs the life of the engine by limiting the wearing of the main bearings and the journal thus sparing the crankshaft from being seriously damaged. However, the most common reason of the harmonic balancer failure is aging. Once your Kia harmonic balancer starts to show signs of failure, it will eventually call for a replacement.
