Piston Pin
In an internal combustion engine, the piston pin helps to connect the piston to the connecting rod and provides bearing support for the connecting rod to pivot when the piston needs to move. Or in simple words, the piston pin is a connecting link between the piston and the connecting rod.
In most engine arrangements, including steam-powered engines, large stationery, and/or marine engines, this pin is located in a sliding crosshead that usually connects to the piston via a rod. This pin is a forged small hollow rod usually made of high-strength steel alloy. The pin design is challenging, especially in the case of small, high-revving automotive engines. Let’s know the working of the piston pin.
