7E-4728: Connecting Rod

A Connecting Rod is a part of an internal combustion engine that connects the piston to the crankshaft. The Connecting Rod has two ends one smaller end and one larger end the smaller end connects to the piston and the larger end connects to the crankshaft. At the smaller end, there is a bearing that connects to the piston pin. The Piston Pin allows the connecting rod to pivot as the piston moves up and down in the cylinder bore. The larger end of the connecting rod has a bearing that interfaces with the crankshaft's crankpin. Attributes: • Contributes to improved engine efficiency and reduced fuel consumption • Manufactured to precise specifications and are built for durability and reliability Applications: A Connecting Rod is used to transfer the reciprocating motion of the piston to the rotational motion of the engine's crankshaft.
