What is crankshaft pin?

The crankshaft pin is a component of the crankshaft, which is part of the engine system of an automobile. It is responsible for converting the linear motion of piston into the rotational motion required to operate the engine and power the vehicle. The crankshaft pin is the part of the shaft that connects the connecting rod to the crankshaft. It is fixed to the crankshaft and rotates along with it. The connecting rod moves up and down due to the motion of the piston, which in turn rotates the crankshaft pin. The crankshaft pin is usually made of hardened steel and is designed to withstand high stress and pressure. It has a lubrication system to prevent it from premature wear and tear due to friction. The size and shape of the pin vary according to the engine's stroke length, horsepower, and torque capacity.
