Understanding Connecting Rods in Engines

The connecting rod connects the piston to the crankshaft to convert the reciprocating motion of the piston into rotational motion, coming in different cross-sectional shapes like angles, channels, Ts, Is, rounds bars, squares bars, and flat bars.

CONNECTING ROD

CONNECTING ROD

The function of the connecting rod is to convert the reciprocating motion of


the piston in to the rotary motion of the crankshaft
Crossection

• Angle sections.
• Channel sections.
• T- sections.
• I-sections.
• Round bars.
• Square bars.
• Flat bars.
Crank throw

The throw is the measurement from the center of the crankshaft to the


center of the crankpin journal, which is used to determine the stroke of
an engine. The throw is equal to one-half the stroke. The longer the throw,
the greater the stroke, or distance, a piston travels.
