The connecting rod bearing, an integral part of an internal combustion engine, plays a crucial role in ensuring smooth operation and longevity of the engine. It facilitates the efficient transfer of power from the piston to the crankshaft while承受substantial loads and extreme temperatures.
A connecting rod bearing comprises two bearing shells, a precision-engineered surface with a thin layer of bearing material. Precisely fitted to the connecting rod and crankshaft journals, the bearing shells provide an anti-friction surface for the rotating motion, allowing the engine to run smoothly with minimal friction and wear.
Table 1: Types of Connecting Rod Bearings
Bearing Type | Material | Properties |
---|---|---|
Plain Bearing | Copper or aluminum alloys | High load capacity, low cost |
Rolling Element Bearing | Steel or ceramic balls or rollers | Lower friction, higher speed capability |
