Articulated Type Connecting Rod

They are primarily used for radial engines and on some v type engines.

Articulated type connecting rod.

This can be twice differentiated to give the acceleration. A connecting rod also called a con rod is the part of a piston engine which connects the piston to the crankshaft together with the crank the connecting rod converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotation of the crankshaft. Different designs forked connecting rod articulated type connecting rod or adjacent connecting rods shall be taken into account. The fork and blade connecting rod the master and articulated rod assembly.

What is the basic function of a piston. Give mike a call. In an article by e. The master and articulated rod assembly is commonly used in radial engines.

In a radial engine the piston in one cylinder in each row is connected to the crankshaft by a master rod. Four types of connecting rod assemblies. Various methods have been devised for dealing with the effects of the articulated rod in aero engines. Type designation and kind of engine in line engine or v type engine with adjacent connecting rods forked connecting rod or articulated type connecting rod operating and combustion method 2 stroke or 4 stroke cycle direct injection pre combustion chamber etc number of cylinders rated power kw rated engine speed r min.

Forged connecting rods are typed by the. Master and articulated rod assembly is used in radial engines articulated rods are constructed of forged steel alloy in either the i or h shape denoting the cross sectional shape. The plain type connecting rod. A plain bearing usually called a piston pin bushing.

In case of v type engines the bending moments progressively calculated from the gas and inertia forces of the two cylinders acting on one crankthrow are superposed according to phase. The intention is to design an articulated joint between a piston 1 and a connecting rod 4 of an internal combustion engine in which a fork shaped head of the connecting rod 4 surrounds a lug 2 projecting from the centre of the underside of the piston and holds a piston bolt 3 fitted in the lug 2 in a more compact manner than heretofore. All other pistons in the row are connected to the master. The connecting rod is the link that transmits forces between the piston and the crankshaft of reciprocating engine.

The connecting rod is required to transmit the compressive and tensile forces from the piston and rotate at both ends. The plain type the fork and blade type the master and articulated type.
