Product Specification

A crankshaft is usually manufactured of alloy steel by casting or forging process and is machined and grounded to give suitable journals for the connecting rod and main bearing.

It must be strong enough to take the thrust of the pistons during the power strokes without excessive distortion. Also, it must be carefully balanced to eliminate undue vibration resulting from the weight of the offset cranks.
