What are the components of the crankshaft flywheel set? What is the role of each?
The crankshaft flywheel group is one of the important parts of the engine. So what is the main composition of the crankshaft flywheel group? Let's take a look at it.
What is the main composition and function of the crankshaft flywheel group?
The important components of the crankshaft flywheel group are: pulley, timing gear, flywheel, crankshaft and torsional vibration damper.
Role of crankshaft:
The force transmitted from the connecting rod is converted into rotating torque, which is then transmitted to the clutch through the flywheel. At the same time, the water pump, camshaft and generator are driven to work. The components of the crankshaft mainly include: crankshaft arm, balance weight, main journal, crankshaft front end and rear end.
Function of flywheel:
It is mainly used to store the energy of the working stroke, provide power for the non-working stroke, make the crankshaft run smoothly and reduce the vibration of the crankshaft. The flywheel is the driving plate of the clutch, through which the power of the engine can be transmitted to the transmission device. The flywheel is marked with TDC and ignition timing.
As one of the most important components of the engine, the material strength of the crankshaft should be high enough, and the wear resistance and impact toughness should be good enough. The crankshaft is a high-speed rotating part, so it has sufficient rigidity and strength, and has good impact load capacity.
The flywheel is a disk with a large moment of inertia, which stores the energy of the working stroke and overcomes the resistance in other strokes to ensure that the output torque and rotation angle of the crankshaft are as uniform as possible.
