Details about Crankshaft used in Internal combustion Engine
In a multi-cylinder engine more complex engine crankshaft is used while in a small engine simple design is sufficient. The flywheel or crankshaft pulley is mounted on the crank to store the generated energy and to use for further work. A flywheel will also reduce the pulsation characteristic of the four-stroke engine. For the smooth and vibration-free running of the engine, the crankshaft is mounted in Main Bearing. Engine Bearings quantity depends upon various factors like the design of an engine, the number of cylinders, the design of crankshaft, etc. But there are always at least two such bearings, one at the drive end and the other at the non-drive end are used. In general, the crankshaft of a four-cylinder engine has three main journals, four crankpins, four counterweights, and two crank webs. The counterweight reduces the bending load on the crankshaft and also helps the engine not to shake when the crank mechanism is rotating. Crankshaft balancing mostly depends on counterweights.
How to Calculate Thickness of crank web of centre crankshaft at TDC position given bearing pressure for crank pin?
Thickness of crank web of centre crankshaft at TDC position given bearing pressure for crank pin calculator uses Thickness of Crank Web = 0.7*(Force on Crank Pin)/(Bearing Pressure in Crank Pin*Length of Crank Pin) to calculate the Thickness of Crank Web, Thickness of crank web of centre crankshaft at TDC position given bearing pressure for crank pin is the thickness of the crank web of the center crankshaft and is measured parallel to the crankpin longitudinal axis, designed for when the crank is at the top dead center position and subjected to maximum bending moment and no torsional moment. Thickness of Crank Web is denoted by t symbol.
How to calculate Thickness of crank web of centre crankshaft at TDC position given bearing pressure for crank pin using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Thickness of crank web of centre crankshaft at TDC position given bearing pressure for crank pin, enter Force on Crank Pin (Pp), Bearing Pressure in Crank Pin (Pb) & Length of Crank Pin (lc) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Thickness of crank web of centre crankshaft at TDC position given bearing pressure for crank pin calculation can be explained with given input values -> 126976.7 = 0.7*(19500)/(8000000*0.043).
