What is an Engine Crankshaft?

 

You will find the crankshaft at the bottom of connecting rod. In an engine design, crankshaft is the most impart part that converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into rotary motion. In that portion, connecting rod aids the crankshaft to take the force from piston. This shaft contains cranks, and you will get one or more cranks on your vehicle’s crankshaft according to the engine capacity. Bigger end of the piston rod is directly connected to the crank through crank pin. It is also made of very special alloy steels or aluminum as like other parts of your engine.
