A connecting rod is a component in an internal combustion engine that connects the piston to the crankshaft. It plays a crucial role in converting the reciprocating motion of the piston, into the rotational motion of the crankshaft, which ultimately drives the transmission and wheels of a vehicle. It has oil passages and grooves, to allow the circulation of lubricating oil to the bearings and reduce frictional heat and wear.Attributes:• Designed to withstand high forces and stresses. • Designed to withstand high temperatures.• Resist Corrosion and durability.Applications: A connecting rod is used to smooth and efficiently conversion of reciprocating motion to rotational motion.
