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.

What is the function of gudgeon pin in a piston?
The gudgeon pin or wrist pin (as it is called in the US), connects the piston to the connecting rod and provides a bearing for the connecting rod to pivot upon as the piston moves.
What connects the piston to the crankshaft?
Gudgeon Pin/Piston Pin
What is the function of crank shaft?
crnke shaft is the one which is attached with piston trough gudgeon pin or swift pin. Its main use is to rotate the piston in rotary motion with the help of counter weight,due to which piston resiprocate up and down.

What is the purpose of gudgeon pin?
I believe a gudgeon pin is what the British call a connecting rod pin (or wrist pin or piston pin) in a reciprocating assembly, (piston, connecting rod, crank ) It connects the piston head to the connecting rod.
Definition about piston pin?
a piston pin is a machined high strength steel "tube" that goes thru the piston and connecting rod and holds them together.
How is the piston pin installed in the piston and rod assembly?
Some are pressed in and others use a floating pin held in by retaining clips on each end.
What are the types of gudgeon pin?
There are three types of piston pins they are, Stationary pin Semi floating pin Full floating pin
What Parts in an engine?
piston pin, piston rings, side bearings, connecting rod bearings
How do you rebuild a cr500 motor?
Two stroke engines are very easy to rebuild. The transmission component is not. The typical rebuild of a two stroke engine consists of removing the cylinder and replacing parts on the piston assembly. Before you order any parts, inspect the cylinder wall for wear and marking. If the cylinder is damaged you will need to get it machined and then order an oversized piston and ring to go with it. If its not damaged, order a standard (or performace) top end rebuild kit wich comes with a piston, piston ring, piston pin, piston pin bearing, and gaskets. So, for your standard rebuild of the top end you would remove one of the snap rings on either side of the piston pin. This will allow you to push the piston pin out from the opposite side. Once the pin is out the piston will come off the connecting rod. Take note of the piston orientation for assembly. The piston pin bearing will now be accessable (you will find on the connecting rod where the piston pin attached the piston). Minor assembly of the piston prior to installation makes it a bit easier to assemble. Place the piston ring on the piston and align the gap with the small pin you will see in the ring groove (turn the piston ring until it falls into place). Install 1 of the snap rings in the piston where the piston pin slides through it. The piston is now prepped for installation. Place the new piston pin bearing in the connecting rod with some assembly grease to hold it. Place the new piston onto the connecting rod so the hole in the piston matches the hole on the connecting rod. Slide the piston pin through the piston, connecting rod, and into the other side of the piston until it contacts the snap ring you installed earlier. Install the last snap ring into the piston to hold the pin in place, cover the outsides of the piston in assembly grease and lower the cylinder onto the piston. If you don't have a piston ring compressor you can hold the piston ring tight to the piston with your fingers. If you encounter any resistance when your putting on the cylinder you can LIGHTLY press the piston ring into the piston with a small slot-head screwdriver. Once that is together you should look up the torque specs for your make/model or if your not that picky just tighten them up at your discretion. If your looking to do anything on the bottom end of the motor or in the transmission I would HIGHLY recommend getting it done at a shop. Unless you know what you are doing you will have a puzzle of gears and springs to put back together.
