The paper deals with crankshaft mechanism with offset. The size of the offset has a positive influence on course of normal (lateral) force on a piston, which means the possibility of reducing passive resistances of a combustion engine, and therefore, possibly, to achieve lower fuel consumption and less amount of produced emissions. Selected results of forces calculation of one variant of such modified crank mechanism are shown in this paper.
