What Components Make Up the Piston Connecting Rod Assembly?
1 Answers
The piston connecting rod assembly primarily consists of the piston, piston rings, piston pin, connecting rod, and connecting rod bearings. Below is a detailed introduction to the piston connecting rod assembly: 1. The piston connecting rod assembly converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion of the crankshaft, while transforming the forces acting on the piston into torque output by the crankshaft, which drives the rotation of the vehicle's wheels. 2. The piston connecting rod assembly serves as the transmission component of the engine, transferring the pressure of the combustion gases to the crankshaft, causing the crankshaft to rotate and output power. 3. Common faults in the piston connecting rod assembly include: damage to the connecting rod bearings due to oil starvation, piston cylinder collision, cylinder head impact, damage to the connecting rod crankshaft, piston ring breakage, excessive piston clearance, and more.
