Connection Rod Bearing

Description

In a reciprocating piston engine, the connecting rod or con rod connects the piston to the crank or crankshaft. Connecting Rod and bearings are two parts which are put together as one major part for the engine build.

Connecting rod bearings provide rotating motion of the crank pin within the connecting rod, which transmits cycling loads applied to the piston. Connecting rod bearings are mounted in the Big end of the connecting rod. A bearing consists of two parts commonly interchangeable.
