What is the purpose of the crankshaft in a petrol engine?
The crankshaft converts the linear motion of the piston into rotation of the crankshaft.
What is the job of a crankshaft?
It turns the stroke movement of the piston(s) into a rotation.
What the piston in engine moves down due to combustion but how does it move up?
In the case of a single cylinder engine it would require a LARGE flywheel, so that rotary momentum is maintained. In the case of a multi-cylinder engine there are multiple firings of individual cylinders in 360 degrees of crankshaft rotation. Each cylinder as it fires helps the crankshaft maintain rotary momentum, thus a lighter flywheel is required.
What connects to the piston?
Crankshaft
What connects the piston to the crankshaft?
Gudgeon Pin/Piston Pin
What determines piston stroke?
Both con-rod length and shape of the crankshaft affect piston stroke
What is Before top dead center?
Before Top Dead Center (BTDC) is a term used to describe the position of a piston inside an internal combustion engine during its upward stroke. It is a value, measured in degrees, that represents the amount of crankshaft rotation prior to the apex of this stroke.
What is the relation between the movement of the piston and the movement of the crankshaft?
In essence, the the displacement of the piston is porportional to the sine of the phase of the crankshaft. this isn't quite true but it gives a rough idea of what is happening. if you meant what happens in one cycle of a piston/crankshaft then it is essentially this: as the piston moves down it forces the crankshaft through one half of a revolution and then on the way back up the piston forces the crankshaft through the remaining half of a revolution - back to its start position to start again
Why does a Harley Davidson have a unique sound?
The sound is created by the 45 degree angle of the pistons on a single crankpin. Both pistons rise and fall in the cylinders at nearly the same time (45 degrees of crankshaft rotation apart). Most V engines have separate crankpins for each piston.
Connecting rods connect the piston to the?
crankshaft
What holds the piston to the crankshaft?
The con rods
What is PARTS of a piston in a petrol engine?
The piston includes the piston, rings, rod, rod bearing, and crankshaft bearing.
