Connecting Rod
The connecting rod carries the force from the piston to the crankshaft, it is constantly subjected to stretching, squashing, and bending forces as it acts as the intermediary in this push-pull relationship. The connecting rod needs to be structurally strong and it’s no coincidence that it takes the form of a miniature steel I-beam, similar to its bigger brothers holding up skyscrapers and bridges. The I-beam profile gives a maximum structural strength at the minimum weight cost and, like the piston, we want to keep the weight of the connecting rod as low as possible.
How to Calculate Maximum Force Acting on Piston Pin Bearing?
Maximum Force Acting on Piston Pin Bearing calculator uses Force on Piston Pin Bearing = pi*Inner Diameter of Engine Cylinder^2*Maximum Pressure in Engine Cylinder/4 to calculate the Force on Piston Pin Bearing, Maximum force acting on piston pin bearing is the maximum amount of force acting onto the bearing used in the assembly of piston pin, piston, and the connecting rod. Force on Piston Pin Bearing is denoted by Pp symbol.
How to calculate Maximum Force Acting on Piston Pin Bearing using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Maximum Force Acting on Piston Pin Bearing, enter Inner Diameter of Engine Cylinder (Di) & Maximum Pressure in Engine Cylinder (pmax) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Maximum Force Acting on Piston Pin Bearing calculation can be explained with given input values -> 27000 = pi*0.0927058^2*4000000/4.
