The up- and -down motion of the piston is converted to rotary motion by the?
connecting rod and the crankshaft
What is function of piston pin of a piston?
The piston pin joins the piston to the connecting rod. Igniting fuel / air mixture pushes down on the top of the piston, the piston transfers the force to the connecting rod, which in turn pushes against the crankshaft, converting the up and down motion of the piston to the rotary motion of the crankshaft. The piston pin allows back and forth motion of the connecting rod (as it's other end is moving back and forth in a circular motion with the crankshaft.)...if instead of a pin a solid joint was made from the piston to the connecting rod the engine would not be able to run, as the connecting rod would try to rock the piston back and forth (side to side, not up and down) as the rod was moved sideways with the crankshaft.
How is reciprocating motion changed to rotary motion?
Reciprocating motion is the up and down motion.. This motion is converted into ratational motion by the crankshaft.. This because it (crankshaft) is frequently combined with flywheel thus to keep the discontinous reciprocating energy as rotation energy.. Added points. Crankshaft drive is the entire mechanism that converts the engine's piston up and down motion where as in cylinder a piston is moved as aresult of applied fluid pressure, the actuator provide rotary motion (Lawrence dinala- Law Dinh)
Rotates the crankshaft as the piston moves down the cyliner?
i am doing a coures in tafe inspect and service engines and i would like to know this rotates the crankshaft as the piston moves down the cylinder
What does the crankshaft change?
Up and Down motion into Rotary motion.
The Car Needs Petrol Because?
Car engines burn fuel in cylinders. When the fuel burns the air in the cylinders expands. The expanding air pushes down on a piston. The piston pushes down on a crankshaft. Then the piston comes back up. The piston going down and up makes the crankshaft rotate. This rotating motion is transferred to the wheels of the car. That pushes the car along. Thus the fuel burning in the cylinders pushes the pistons. Without Petrol to burn in the cylinders, the pistons would not push the crankshaft. It would not make the wheels move.
The engine's changes up-and-down motion into rotary motion?
piston
In an internal combustion engine each up or down movement of a piston is called a what?
a revolution i believe, although that may be for the whole crankshaft not each piston a revolution i believe, although that may be for the whole crankshaft not each piston
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
What is the purpose of the crankshaft?
The crankshaft, simply put, converts reciprical motion into rotary motion, thereby trnsmitting the horsepower and motion created by the piston and rod assemblies through the rotary motion of the crankshaft to the transmission and then wheels.
What is function of a piston in a diesel engine?
The piston has the same function whether diesel or petrol. The piston is forced down the cylinder when the petrol mixture ignites and expands. That in turn presses on the connecting rod which in turn pushes on the crankshaft. The crankshaft changes the up and down movement of the piston into a rotational movement which makes the car go.
What does a con rod do?
Con rod is short for 'Connecting Rod'. It is the physical link between the rotating crankshaft, and the piston. It allows the rotating force of the crankshaft to push and pull, up and down, the piston in the cylinder
