344-2603: Engine Crankshaft

A Crankshaft is designed to convert the reciprocating motion of the pistons into rotational motion. It is typically made from durable materials to withstand the demanding conditions encountered within an Engine. By converting the reciprocating motion into rotational motion, the Crankshaft enables the Engine to rotate continuously, which ensures the continuous intake, compression, power generation, and exhaust cycles of the Engine. Attributes: • Ensure minimal power losses during the conversion process • Gear teeth are Hardened to Rockwell hardness of 30 N 70 HRC minimum, which determines it's resistant to deformation and wear • The pitch diameter of the Gear is 105.354mm, which gives a greater surface area for meshing Applications: A Crankshaft acts as a mechanical linkage between the reciprocating motion of the pistons and the rotational motion required for power generation and overall Engine operation.
