It connects the piston to whatever the design calls for the piston to push or pull on.
In a combustion engine, the piston rod connects the piston to the crankshaft, turning linear reciprocating motion into rotary motion.

How do you remove a piston?
Easy way is to remove the cylinder head and the oil pan. Then unbolt the cap on the lower side of the connecting rod, then slide the piston out of the top of the engine where u removed the head. Its alot more work than most people think.
Connecting rods are normally made of what steel?
They are made from haevy steel to maintaint the effectivnes and the strenght of the connecting rod. When the compression accures in a combustion chamber pushehs the piston down and the connecting rod. They need to be strong otherwise they will crack and the engine will blow up.
How does a pneumatic cylinder act with water in the air?
Air cylinder or air rams consists of a tube with a sealed base, a piston attached to a rod and a gland to seal the tube and rod where the rod exits the barrel. This assembly is called the cylinder or ram. The ram is ported in the top and bottom to allow pressurized air to enter and exit the cylinder. This moves the piston which is attached to the rod and created the movement. Cylinders are usually stationary at one end and the rod is attached to a moving part. This is called a double-acting cylinder because pressurized air can be let into both sides of the cylinder to create movement. A single-acting cylinder relies on gravity to extend or retract it as it is only ported on either the top or bottom side of the cylinder.
How oil pumps work?
Oil field pushrod pumps ("donkey pumps") are reciprocating piston pumps. The long rod attached to the nodding head of the donkey pump extends down the well pipe. At the bottom of the pipe, an attached piston is moved up and down by the motion of the rod. The piston is fitted with a one-way valve, and the bottom of the pipe is also fitted with a one-way valve. As the piston descends, its valve (the "travelling valve") opens, allowing oil to pass through into the space above the piston. At the same time, the valve at the bottom of the well pipe (the "standing valve") closes, so that no oil is pushed out the bottom of the pipe. When the piston begins to rise, the travelling valve closes so that the oil now above it is lifted up the well pipe...while the standing valve now opens, allowing more oil from underground to be sucked into the bottom of the well pipe. The process repeats, with each upward stroke of the pump delivering around one to ten gallons of liquid...oil, possibly with some water mixed in.
If one piston moves 10cm how far will the large piston move if the small piston has 100 N going down?
1000cm
What is the function of a con rod?
Connects piston to crank serving as an arm.
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 is difference between piston rod and connecting rod?
A connecting rod connects the piston to the crankshaft - A piston rod (also called a wristpin)connects the piston to the connecting rod.
What are the function of connecting rod?
In a reciprocating piston engine, the connecting rod connects the piston to the crankshaft. Together with the crankshaft, they form a simple mechanism that converts reciprocating motion into rotating motion.
Function of a connecting rod of an ic engine?
In a reciprocating engine, the connecting rod is used to connect the piston to the crankshaft. It converts the linear motion (reciprocating motion) of the piston to the circular motion of 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.
What are bent engine pistons?
A bent engine piston is a reference to the piston rod. The piston cannot be bent, but the piston rod can be bent.
What is PARTS of a piston in a petrol engine?
The piston includes the piston, rings, rod, rod bearing, and crankshaft bearing.
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 connects the con rod to the piston?
The connecting rod has a "wrist pin" which goes through the side of the piston and through the connecting rod. It is one of the most critical fit parts of an engine.The connecting rod or con rod connects the piston to the crank or crankshaft!!!
What metal rod connects to the piston of a steam engine?
piston
