← Back Jenbacher 476582 Connecting rod bearing

A connecting rod bearing is a crucial component in an internal combustion engine. It connects the piston to the crankshaft, allowing the reciprocating motion of the piston to be converted into the rotational motion of the crankshaft2. This process is essential for generating power in the engine.
Connecting rod bearings are designed to withstand high speeds, temperatures, and loads, ensuring smooth and efficient operation. They typically consist of two semi-circular shells that fit over the crankshaft journals and are coated with materials to reduce friction and wear1.
