Convert movement
The crankshaft drive connects the pistons, connecting rods and crankshaft to form a unit that converts the linear movements of the pistons into torque. It is the central link between combustion power and drive power.
Successful interaction
For the crankshaft drive to function reliably, components such as crankshafts, connecting rods and balancing weights must fit together exactly. Every imbalance, every tolerance error has an effect on running smoothness, bearing life and performance. The materials, manufacturing accuracy and balancing mechanisms must be carefully coordinated.
