Knife-Edging and Lightening

AP Balancing specialise in crankshaft knife edging, lightening cranks and dynamically balancing them.

We have many years experience in this very specialised field, producing an exceptionally high standard of work.

Knife edging combines aerodynamics with weight reduction resulting in instant throttle response and engine pick-up.

It typically narrows the counterweight pendulums at the outer edges and tapers them to a sharp point or an edge like a knife enabling it to cut through the oil in the crankcase with less drag or restriction.
