Description
Overview:
Balancer Shaft 2 (RB246 24102 03) is a precision‐machined internal engine component for Robin small petrol engines used in construction and garden machinery. Made from high‐strength steel and balanced to fine tolerances, it counteracts secondary engine forces to cut vibration, helping the engine run smoothly and protecting bearings, fasteners and mounts. The shaft sits within the crankcase and works with the crankshaft via timing gears to stabilise rotation at working speeds. A correctly balanced shaft reduces operator fatigue, improves equipment stability and supports longer service intervals. Supplied as a direct replacement for the referenced part, it is suitable for use during an engine rebuild or planned maintenance on equipment such as plate compactors, generators, pumps, tillers and similar tools.
Key Features:
- Precision engineered to reduce vibration and harshness for smoother running
- Tough steel construction for durability under continuous site or garden use
- Balanced to original‐spec tolerances to help protect bearings and engine mounts
- Direct‐fit replacement for reference RB246 24102 03 to minimise downtime
- Precision‐ground journals to promote correct bearing fit and oil film retention
- Works with standard engine lubrication for reliable long‐term service
- Helps prevent fastener loosening and frame fatigue caused by excess vibration
- Stable operation improves user comfort and tool control
- Suitable for routine overhauls and corrective repairs on small petrol engines
- Designed to integrate with existing timing gear without modification
Typical Applications:
Commonly used in small petrol engines powering plate compactors (wacker plates), generators, water pumps, trench rammers, tillers/rotavators, lawn mowers, chippers/shredders and pressure washers. Ideal when restoring smooth operation after vibration‐related wear, replacing a damaged shaft, or refreshing the bottom end during an engine rebuild to maintain reliability.
Also known as:
Balancer shaft, balance shaft, counterbalance shaft, engine balancing shaft, vibration balancer shaft, secondary balance shaft, anti‐vibration shaft, machinery balancer, crank balance shaft assembly.
