The length of the crankshaft throw is the stroke of the engine.
Both con-rod length and shape of the crankshaft affect piston stroke
the power stroke
The Crankshaft!
It refers to the throws of the crankshaft/distance the piston moves. It usually is compared to the bore of the engine. An example a 302 4"bore x 3"stroke is a short stroke motor, by comparison a 5.4L ford v8 3.552" bore x 4.165" stroke.
The camshaft typically turns at half the speed of the crankshaft in a four-stroke engine. This is because the camshaft is driven by the crankshaft and needs to rotate once for every two rotations of the crankshaft to synchronize the opening and closing of the engine's valves. This ratio ensures that the intake and exhaust valves operate at the correct times during the engine's cycle.
A two stroke engine has half the strokes of an otto (or four stroke) engine, therefore it takes two crankshaft roatations to complete a cycle on a four stroke engine and only one revolution in a two stroke engine. There are several types of two stroke engines, the different types have to do with how the receive the air/fuel mixture, also you have two stroke diesel engines.
The four-stroke engine produces 1 power stroke for every 720 degrees of crankshaft rotation.
180 degrees per stroke.
in my opinion a two stroke engine is a better quality engine as compared to a four stroke engine!
In a four-stroke engine, the crankshaft completes two rotations to complete one full cycle of all four strokes: intake, compression, power, and exhaust. This means that each stroke of the engine corresponds to half a rotation of the crankshaft. Therefore, for each individual stroke, one full rotation of the crankshaft is required for two strokes.
In a two-stroke engine, the crankshaft completes one full revolution for every power cycle. This means that for every two strokes of the piston (one upward and one downward), the crankshaft makes one revolution. This design allows for a power stroke with each crankshaft rotation, resulting in higher power output relative to the engine size.
Why the fuel consumption is less in 4 stroke engine as compared to 2 stroke engine
