A connecting rod, also called a 'con rod', [1] [2] [3] is the part of a piston engine which connects the piston to the crankshaft. Together with the crank, the connecting rod converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotation of the crankshaft. [4] The connecting rod is required to transmit the compressive and tensile forces from ...
