A Connecting Rod Bolt by
Febi (MPN: 19611), manufactured in China, is designed to hold the connecting rod in place within an engine's crankcase. Its dimensions are 62.0 mm in height, 162.0 mm in width, and 47.0 mm in depth. The bolt boasts a length of 70 mm and comes with a M12 x 1.25 outside thread for added stability. Dimensions are provided by the supplier and may include packaging dimensions.
Connecting rods articulate between the piston and the crankshaft, translating reciprocating linear motion into rotary motion within the engine’s cylinders. These forged steel or aluminum alloy components withstand immense tensile, compressive, and bending forces during combustion. Critical features include a large end bore accommodating the crankshaft journal and a small end bushing or bearing accepting the piston pin. Balancing is a crucial manufacturing process to minimize vibration at high engine speeds. Connecting rod design varies by engine configuration and performance level, dictating material selection and construction methods.
