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 Width of crank web of centre crankshaft at TDC position given thickness of crank web?
Width of crank web of centre crankshaft at TDC position given thickness of crank web calculator uses Width of Crank Web = 1.6285*Thickness of Crank Web to calculate the Width of Crank Web, Width of crank web of centre crankshaft at TDC position given thickness of crank web is the width of the crank web of the center crankshaft and is measured perpendicular 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. Width of Crank Web is denoted by w symbol.
How to calculate Width of crank web of centre crankshaft at TDC position given thickness of crank web using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Width of crank web of centre crankshaft at TDC position given thickness of crank web, enter Thickness of Crank Web (t) and hit the calculate button.
