Abstract—Balancing of asymmetrical rhomboid mechanism with forked crank which is used in engines with external heat sources is considered. The main equations for correcting masses (counterweights) and their coordinates calculations are given. The conditions of full static balancing of rhomboid mechanism with forked crank are obtained. 
 
Index Terms— external combustion engine, asymmetrical rhomboid mechanism, balancing, correcting masses.
