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 ...
The vertical piston rod of a large beam engine at Dorothea Quarry. In a piston engine, a piston rod joins a piston to the crosshead and thus to the connecting rod that drives the crankshaft or (for steam locomotives) the driving wheels. Internal combustion engines, and in particular all current automobile engines
This force then acts downwards through the connecting rod and onto the crankshaft. The connecting rod is attached to the piston by a swivelling gudgeon pin (US: wrist pin). This pin is mounted within the piston: unlike the steam engine, there is no piston rod or crosshead (except big two stroke engines). The typical piston design is on the picture.
Crankshaft (red), pistons (gray), cylinders (blue) and flywheel (black) A crankshaft is a mechanical component used in a piston engine to convert the reciprocating motion into rotational motion. The crankshaft is a rotating shaft containing one or more crankpins, [1] that are driven by the pistons via the connecting rods. [2]
A return connecting rod, [1] [2] return piston rod [i] or (in marine parlance) double piston rod engine [2] or back-acting engine is a particular layout for a steam engine. The key attribute of this layout is that the piston rod emerges from the cylinder to the crosshead, but the connecting rod then reverses direction and goes backwards to the ...
Connecting rods link the pistons to the crankshaft and convert vertical motion to move the wheels. Honda recalled about 250,000 vehicles in November of 2023 to fix the same problem. But the agency ...
