READ MOREEagle will balance a new crankshaft at the time of purchase. You will need to provide the bobweight you want it to be balanced to and the bobweight must be below the target bobweight listed for the crankshaft ordered. Our balancing price does not include addition of heavy metal. Bobweight Explained. When a crankshaft is balanced, the actual
READ MORECrankshaft pulleys and timing belts are a key component of automotive engines. They are used to synchronize the rotation of the crankshaft and camshafts, allowing the engine to run smoothly and efficiently. This article will provide an overview of crankshaft pulleys and timing belts, including their production, purpose, and installation.

READ MOREHow does a crankshaft work? How is a crankshaft constructed? What is torsion resistance? What material are crankshafts made of, and what properties do they need to
READ MOREMost engines use cranks to do this. A crank is simply an off-center connection that provides energy to (or takes energy from) a rotating wheel. As the crank pushes back and forth, the wheel rotates (or
READ MOREAnatomy At its core, the crankshaft is a long, cylindrical shaft with offset crankpins that connect to the connecting rods. As the pistons move up and down, they transmit motion to the crankshaft through the connecting rods, creating rotational force. The distance the piston travels between the top dead center (TDC) and the bottom dead
READ MOREThe procedure for design the crankshafts is explained in detail using calculations of the crankshaft strength and stress. The factors affecting the fatigue strength are deliberated. Plots of oil film thickness explain the wear pattern. Inherently, single-, two-, three- and four- cylinder in line engines are not fully balanced for inertia forces
READ MOREThe crankshaft is attached to the engine by large bearings at either end. It connects to the flywheel, and through that, the clutch. When the clutch is engaged, the rotational energy of the crankshaft is transmitted through the gearbox and on through the differential to the driveshafts, which are attached to the wheels, hence creating the car''s ability to move.
READ MOREA crankshaft is an important part of an engine''s power transmission system. Located within the engine crankshaft block it works by using a connecting rod to convert the reciprocating motion of the pistons
READ MOREThe crankshaft is an important part of an engine. Here, we discuss its components, types, applications, and factors affecting crankshaft replacement cost.
READ MOREThe crankshaft, depending upon the number of cranks in the shaft, may also be classified as a single throw or multi-throw crankshafts. A crankshaft with only one side crank or the center crank is called a
READ MOREThe benefit is that it is smooth and helps mitigate second order vibrations (a vibration at twice the engine rpm). Flat-plane cranks have two pairs of journals 180 degrees apart from each other
READ MOREThe flat-plane crank (sometimes flatplane) is a type of crankshaft for use in internal combustion engines that has a 180-degree angle between crank throws. Details. Flat-plane cranks are used in V-configuration engines, generally with eight cylinders.
READ MOREA crankshaft is a shaft driven by a crank mechanism, consisting of a series of cranks and crankpins to which the connecting rods of an engine are attached. It is a mechanical
READ MOREFlat-plane cranks are, well, flat. If it helps, you can use this handy equation: flat=flat. That means that the crankshaft is really a sort of 2D-shape: just the square-wave up-and-down style
READ MOREA Forged crankshaft is made by forging a single block of metal into the desired shape. This eliminates the need for welding or heat shrinking for fitting the different parts. Forged crankshafts are compatible with moderate-speed engines such as generators. These are not a suitable option for heavy two-stroke engines.
READ MOREUse an abrasive wheel to quickly smooth over parting lines and die marks. Shotpeening, similar to sandblasting, bombards the crankshaft with tiny ball bearings. The surface of the metal is compressed during the process, helping to prevent cracks from developing. Stress Relieving "relaxes" the steel and involves heating the crankshaft to a

A crankshaft is a mechanical component used in a piston engine to convert the reciprocating motion into rotational motion. The crankshaft is a rotating shaft containing one or more crankpins, that are driven by the pistons via the connecting rods. The crankpins are also called rod bearing journals, and they rotate within the "big end" of the connecting rods.
READ MOREA camshaft on a four stroke engine runs at half the speed of the crankshaft—the intake and exhaust valves open one time (each) for every two engine revolutions. That is, 1:2. In a two stroke engine, the ratio is 1:1. For every crankshaft revolution, the camshaft does the same.
READ MOREThere are two crank designs available when picking one for your next V-8 project: cross- and flat-plane. For the most part, cross-plane cranks dominate, especially in American V-8 engines, while
