2. Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wärtsilä-Sulzer_RTA96-C

   The engine is the largest reciprocating engine in the world. The 14-cylinder version first entered commercial service in September 2006 aboard the Emma Mærsk. The design is similar to the older RTA96C engine, but with common rail technology (in place of traditional camshaft, chain gear, fuel pump and hydraulic actuator systems).

3. Tunnel crankcase - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnel_crankcase

   A tunnel crankcase, tunnel crankshaft or disc-webbed crankshaft [1] is a design feature of a piston engine where the main bearings that support the crankshaft within the crankcase form the largest diameter of any part of the crankshaft and are larger than the crank webs. This requires a crankcase with a large tunnel instead of cross web ...

4. Crankcase - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase

   Gardner 0 stationary engine (a plate acts as a safety shield but the crankshaft is not fully enclosed). Early engines were of the "open-crank" style, that is, there was no enclosed crankcase. The crankshaft and associated parts were open to the environment. That made for a messy environment, because oil spray from the moving parts was not ...

5. Component parts of internal combustion engines - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component_parts_of...

   An illustration of several key components in a typical four-stroke engine. For a four-stroke engine, key parts of the engine include the crankshaft (purple), connecting rod (orange), one or more camshafts (red and blue), and valves. For a two-stroke engine, there may simply be an exhaust outlet and fuel inlet instead of a valve system.

6. Flat-plane crank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat-plane_crank

   Front view of a V8 flat plane crankshaft with corresponding connecting rod positions. The flat-plane crankshaft was used in the World War II Sherman Tank in the Ford GAA engine, an all-aluminium 32-valve DOHC 60-degree liquid-cooled V8. However, the flat-plane design is no longer widely used in most mass production V engines as it is more prone ...

7. Crankshaft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankshaft

   Crankshaft, pistons and connecting rods for a typical internal combustion engine Marine engine crankshafts from 1942. The crankshaft is located within the engine block and held in place via main bearings which allow the crankshaft to rotate within the block. [3] The up-down motion of each piston is transferred to the crankshaft via connecting ...
