What is a Crank?
A Crank is an arm attached at a right angle to a rotating shaft by which circular motion is imparted to or received from the shaft. When combined with a connecting rod, it can be used to convert circular motion into reciprocating motion, or vice versa. The arm may be a bent portion of the shaft or a separate arm or disk attached to it. Attached to the end of the crank by a pivot is a rod, usually called a connecting rod (conrod).
The term often refers to a human-powered crank that is used to manually turn an axle, as in a bicycle crankset or a brace and bit drill. In this case, a person's arm or leg serves as the connecting rod, applying reciprocating force to the crank. There is usually a bar perpendicular to the other end of the arm, often with a freely rotatable handle or pedal attached.
How to Calculate Angular Velocity of Crank given Engine Speed in RPM?
Angular Velocity of Crank given Engine Speed in RPM calculator uses Angular Velocity of Crank = 2*pi*Engine Speed in Rpm/60 to calculate the Angular Velocity of Crank, Angular Velocity of Crank given Engine Speed in RPM is the angular displacement covered by the crank in unit time. Angular Velocity of Crank is denoted by ω symbol.
