Requirements of a Piston Pin
1. The pin must have sufficient strength and flexibility to withstand the load without damage.
2. It requires high surface hardness to achieve favorable wear behavior.
3. These pins must achieve high surface quality and size accuracy for optimum fit with their sliding parts, piston, and connecting rod.
4. To keep the inertia forces to a minimum, these pins must have a low weight.
5. The rigidity of the pin should match the design of the piston, so as to avoid overloading the piston.
6. Despite from above, the pin construction should be as simple and thus economical as possible.
How to Calculate Outer Diameter of Piston Pin?
Outer Diameter of Piston Pin calculator uses Outer Diameter of Piston Pin = pi*Diameter of Cylinder Bore^2*Maximum Gas Pressure Inside Cylinder/(4*Bearing Pressure of CrankPin Bush*Length of Piston Pin in Connecting Rod) to calculate the Outer Diameter of Piston Pin, Outer Diameter of Piston Pin is the diameter of the outer surface of a piston pin. Outer Diameter of Piston Pin is denoted by do symbol.
How to calculate Outer Diameter of Piston Pin using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Outer Diameter of Piston Pin, enter Diameter of Cylinder Bore (Di), Maximum Gas Pressure Inside Cylinder (pmax), Bearing Pressure of CrankPin Bush (pbc) & Length of Piston Pin in Connecting Rod (l1) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Outer Diameter of Piston Pin calculation can be explained with given input values -> 55500 = pi*0.18^2*1431910.84/(4*7590000*0.081).
