What is a Crank Pin?
A Crankpin is the part of the crank of a crankshaft to which the connecting rod is attached. Crankpins transfer up-and-down motion between the crankshaft and connecting rod. The big end of the connecting rod is connected to the crankpin of the crankshaft by way of a bearing. Connecting rods typically have two-piece crankpin bearings for connecting the lower end of the rod to a crankpin of a crankshaft.
Crankpin meets the demands for high-performance engines, lightweight design, component reliability, and low through cost manufacturing. The crankpins are subjected to shock and fatigue loads. Thus the material of the crankpin should be tough and fatigue resistant. The crankpins are generally made of carbon steel, forged steel, and alloy steel. It also improves the strength of the component. The surface of the crankpin is hardened by case carburizing, nitriding, or induction hardening.
