Abstract

An engine trigger wheel is disclosed having a central annular portion and a cylindrical rim portion defining a number of trigger teeth, wherein the central annular and cylindrical rim portions are pressed from a single piece of metal. A number of balance apertures are formed in the central annular portion to move a center of mass of the trigger wheel away from an axis of rotation. The engine trigger wheel when fastened to one end of a crankshaft of an engine provides both an indication of the angular position of the crankshaft and a counterweight function.
