- A
crankpin or
crank pin, also
known as a rod
bearing journal, is a
mechanical device in an
engine which connects the
crankshaft to the
connecting rod for...
-
rotating shaft containing one or more
crankpins, that are
driven by the
pistons via the
connecting rods. The
crankpins are also
called rod
bearing journals...
- re-timing the camshaft, and
sometimes in
combination with a
change in
crankpin angle. The goal is to
change the
power delivery characteristics of the...
-
connecting rod and the piston. Typically, the big end
connects to the
crankpin using a
plain bearing to
reduce friction; however, some
smaller engines...
-
cylinder banks: in this
configuration each pair of
cylinders shares a
single crankpin, so that as one
piston moves inward, the
other moves outward. The first...

weight of 234 kg (515 lb).
Originally ****ed with a
crankshaft with 180°
crankpin phasing and
ignition timing on the
right hand side of the
engine till 1980...
-
designs often use a three-throw
crankshaft with 'flying arms'
between the
crankpins to
allow an even
firing interval of 120
degrees to be achieved. A pair...
- in the
crankpins,
blocking oil flow was
thought to be the root cause,
which resulted in
improved oil
screens and the
implementation of a
crankpin plug,...
-
design of each
piston having its own
crankpin, flat-twelve
engines have each pair of
pistons sharing a
crankpin, and thus are flat, but not true boxers...
- the
first Isle of Man TT race in 1907. Most V-twin
engines have a
single crankpin,
which is
shared by both
connecting rods. The
connecting rods may sit side-by-side...
