  2. Hydrolock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrolock

    Bent connecting rod after hydrolock Same connecting rod, turned 90°. Hydrolock (a shorthand notation for hydrostatic lock or hydraulic lock) is an abnormal condition of any device which is designed to compress a gas by mechanically restraining it; most commonly the reciprocating internal combustion engine, the case this article refers to unless otherwise noted.

  3. Connecting rod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connecting_rod

    A connecting rod, also called a 'con rod', [1] [2] [3] is the part of a piston engine which connects the piston to the crankshaft. Together with the crank, the connecting rod converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotation of the crankshaft. [4] The connecting rod is required to transmit the compressive and tensile forces from ...

  4. Engine balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

    Connecting rods (rotating around the piston end as required by the varying horizontal offset between the piston and the crank throw) The imbalances can be caused by either the static mass of individual components or the cylinder layout of the engine, as detailed in the following sections.

  5. Slider-crank linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slider-crank_linkage

    Then, using the triangle sine law, it is found that the crank to connecting rod angle is 88.21738° and the connecting rod angle is 18.60647° from vertical (see Piston motion equations#Example). When the crank is driven by the connecting rod, a problem arises when the crank is at top dead centre (0°) or bottom dead centre (180°).

  6. Gudgeon pin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gudgeon_pin

    Gudgeon pin connection at connecting rod. Gudgeon pin fits into gudgeons inside piston.. In internal combustion engines, the gudgeon pin (English, wrist pin or piston pin US English) connects the piston to the connecting rod, and provides a bearing for the connecting rod to pivot upon as the piston moves. [1]

  7. Central pain syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_pain_syndrome

    Central pain syndrome, also known as central neuropathic pain, [1] is a neurological condition consisting of constant moderate to severe pain due to damage to the central nervous system (CNS) which causes a sensitization of the pain system. [2] [3] The extent of pain and the areas affected are related to the cause of the injury. [4]

  8. Position-sensing hydraulic cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position-sensing_hydraulic...

    An external Linear Displacement Transducer (LDT) utilizes a magnet that generates a magnetic field, which passes through the steel wall of a hydraulic cylinder. This magnetic field provides a locating signal to an external sensor. Advantages of external LDTs include: Preservation of Rod Strength: The full buckling strength of the rod is maintained.

  9. Pneumatic cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_cylinder

    A single-acting cylinder (SAC) has one port, which allows compressed air to enter and for the rod to move in one direction only. The high pressure of the compressed air causes the rod to extend as the cylinder chamber continues to fill. When the compressed air leaves the cylinder through the same port the rod is returned to its original position.
