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.
Connects piston to crank serving as an arm.
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.
A connecting rod connects the piston to the crankshaft - A piston rod (also called a wristpin)connects the piston to the 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.
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.
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.
A bent engine piston is a reference to the piston rod. The piston cannot be bent, but the piston rod can be bent.
The piston includes the piston, rings, rod, rod bearing, and crankshaft bearing.
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.
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!!!
