A harmonic balancer (also called crank pulley damper, crankshaft damper, torsional damper, or vibration damper) is a device connected to the crankshaft of an engine to reduce torsional vibration and serves as a pulley for drive belts.
Vibration
Every time the cylinders fire, torque is imparted to the crankshaft. The crankshaft deflects under this torque, which sets up vibrations when the torque is released. At certain engine speeds the torques imparted by the cylinders are in sync with the vibrations in the crankshaft, which results in a phenomenon called resonance. This resonance causes stress beyond what the crankshaft can withstand, resulting in crankshaft failure.
Countering vibration
To prevent this vibration, a harmonic balancer is attached to the front part of the crankshaft. The damper is composed of two elements: a mass and an energy dissipating element. The mass resists the acceleration of the vibration and the energy dissipating (rubber/clutch/fluid) element absorbs the vibrations.
A tuned mass damper, also known as a harmonic absorber, is a device mounted in structures to reduce the amplitude of mechanical vibrations. Their application can prevent discomfort, damage, or outright structural failure. They are frequently used in power transmission, automobiles, and buildings.
Principle
Tuned mass dampers stabilize against violent motion caused by harmonic vibration. A tuned damper reduces the vibration of a system with a comparatively lightweight component so that the worst-case vibrations are less intense. Roughly speaking, practical systems are tuned to either move the main mode away from a troubling excitation frequency, or to add damping to a resonance that is difficult or expensive to damp directly. An example of the latter is a crankshaft torsional damper. Mass dampers are frequently implemented with a frictional or hydraulic component that turns mechanical kinetic energy into heat, like an automotive shock absorber. An electrical analogue is an LCR circuit.
What You SHOULD Know About Harmonic Damper Pulleys | Harmonic Balancers 101 [TECH TALK]
Many people believe if their engine is balanced perfectly internally, an external damper is not necessary, leaving dampers/balancers often overlooked. These people are mistaken, as JC from ATI Performance Products explains.
The misconceptions around harmonic damper pulleys come from the common (but incorrect) belief that the harmonic damper is there to deal with the imbalance of the stock components in a factory engine. The reality is that no matter how well your engine components are balanced, a harmonic damper is still an important addition to your performance engine build.
The reason we need a damper is that each combustion event produces a small amount of torsional vibration in the crankshaft. As we move through the rev range we’ll find that at certain RPMs we will reach a resonant ...

Many people believe if their engine is balanced perfectly internally, an external damper is not necessary, leaving dampers/balancers often overlooked. These people are mistaken, as JC from ATI Performance Products explains.

The reality is that no matter how well your engine components are balanced, a harmonic damper is still an important addition to your performance engine build.
The reason we need a damper is that each combustion event produces a small amount of torsional vibration in the crankshaft. As we move through the rev range we’ll find that at certain RPMs we will reach a resonant frequency where the effect of the vibration is magnified and this can become damaging, particularly if we happen to sit at the resonant rpm for an extended period of time. With a damper fitted this torsional twist can be counteracted, giving reliability and even keeping power levels where they should by ensuring the valve train is operating as intended.
A common failure we see in engines fitted with lightweight crank pulleys that eliminate the harmonic damper is the failure of factory oil pump gears that are driven directly by the crankshaft. While this is just one potential failure point, it illustrates how serious theses harmonics can be. A harmonic damper is designed to eliminate these damaging torsional vibrations and protect the engine components from damage with timing chain failures another common and dramatic failure.
At The SEMA Show, JC runs us through all this, along with how a damper is selected for the right application, how they work, what the construction is and when in the engine building process you should fit one. Also discussed is the ability to rebuild ATI dampers when you're rebuilding your high-performance race engine, or every 10 years or so on a street application.
