About Automotive Crankshaft
Internal combustion engines (ICEs) are commonly used in automobiles. Such engines burn a mixture of fuel and air to generate energy, which generates a rotational motion that is transmitted to the vehicles wheels. During the process of combustion, the fuel mixture is supplied to the cylinder through an intake valve and post-combustion, the excess emissions are ejected into the environment through the vehicles tailpipe.
A crankshaft follows a simple mechanism. Combustion in the engine causes pistons to move up and down; this energy is transferred to crankshafts through connecting rods that are attached to the crankshaft-bearing surface, called a crank pin. Crankshafts convert the reciprocating motion of pistons to rotatory movement, thereby providing the power necessary to spin the wheels. Crankshafts are generally made of cast iron/steel and forged steel. Billet-machined processes are used to make crankshafts for high power engines used in racing cars and heavy-duty vehicles.
