A crankshaft usually connects to a flywheel. The flywheel smooths

to
the rotation.
Sometimes there is a torsion or vibration damper
and
from

out
to
the other end of the crankshaft.
This helps
and
from

to
reduce vibrations of the crankshaft. Large engines usually have several cylinders.
This helps to reduce pulsations
and
from
of
on
out
to
individual firing strokes.
For some engines it is necessary to provide counterweights. The counterweight is used
and
from

to
offset the piston and improve balance.
While counterweights add a lot
and
from

out
to
weight to the crankshaft, it provides a smoother running engine.
This allows higher RPMs to be reached
and
from
of
on
out
to
more power produced.
