The 28 pages that link to Crankshaft, each with the reason it gives.

• Internal combustion engineRelated: It carries piston power out of reciprocating engines as rotary motion.

• Diesel engineRelated: It delivers the diesel engine’s mechanical output to a load.

• Four-stroke engineRelated: It turns twice while each cylinder completes one four-stroke cycle.

• PistonRelated: In many engines, a connecting rod transfers the piston’s motion to this rotating shaft.

• Axis of rotationRelated: Its bearings constrain the shaft to rotate around a fixed mechanical axis.

• FlywheelRelated: It works with an engine flywheel but does not itself provide the same inertial buffer.

• Spark-ignition engineRelated: It carries the piston’s power stroke into rotational output.

• Connecting rodRelated: The rod’s big end articulates around a crankpin and applies force to the shaft.

• Piston engineRelated: It turns each piston's back-and-forth motion into rotary output.

• Reciprocating engineRelated: It turns the piston’s back-and-forth travel into continuous shaft rotation.

• Radial engineRelated: The cylinders’ rods act on a central crankshaft.

• Valve timingRelated: Valve timing is normally measured by crankshaft angle, even when a camshaft drives the valves.

• Alphonse Beau de RochasRelated: Two crankshaft revolutions carry a four-stroke engine through the complete cycle.

• V engineRelated: Both cylinder banks drive the same shaft, combining their power into one rotating output.

• Wheel and axleRelated: Engine power is transmitted through rotating shafts and attached wheels.

• CamshaftRelated: Its rotation is synchronized with the camshaft to coordinate pistons and valves.

• Cornelis DrebbelRelated: Mechanical power transmission is central to the human-powered propulsion described for Drebbel’s vessel.

• Flat engineRelated: The cylinders sit on opposite sides of this central shaft.

• Medieval technologyRelated: Cranks and connecting rods let some medieval machines turn reciprocating force into rotation.

• Renaissance technologyRelated: Crank mechanisms helped transmit power in pumps, mills, and other machinery.

• Richard Jordan GatlingRelated: The hand crank turned the mechanism that advanced cartridges through the firing cycle.

• Ismail al-JazariRelated: A crank-and-connecting-rod arrangement appears in al-Jazari’s double-acting pump.

• Machine pressRelated: It turns flywheel rotation into the press slide's up-and-down movement.

• Petrol engineRelated: It carries the piston force out of the engine as rotary power.

• Straight engineRelated: One crankshaft serves the cylinders in a straight engine.
