Product Description
345-00040-0/1
Connecting Rod, Tohatsu,
For Outboard: Tohatsu M40C, Tohatsu M50C, Tohatsu M50D
Functions:
1. Energy Transfer: The primary function of the connecting rod is to convert the linear motion of the piston (as it moves up and down during the power strokes) into the rotational motion of the crankshaft. This rotational motion drives the propeller, propelling the boat forward. |
2. Maintaining Piston Alignment: The connecting rod ensures that the piston remains properly aligned in the cylinder. It prevents lateral movement and ensures that the piston moves up and down in a straight path, which is essential for efficient combustion and engine performance. |
3. Withstanding High Loads: During each power stroke, the connecting rod experiences intense tensile and compressive forces. It must be able to handle the load created by the combustion pressure, as well as the high-speed motion of the engine's operation. |
4. Converting Reciprocating to Rotary Motion: The rod plays a critical role in transforming the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion of the crankshaft. This is a key process in generating the mechanical power needed to propel the boat. |
Features:
1. High Strength and Durability: connecting rods are designed to handle the immense forces created during combustion, as well as the rapid motion of the piston. They are built to withstand the high stress and pressure that occur in the engine without bending, breaking, or suffering from fatigue. |
2. Precision Machining: The connecting rods are precision-engineered to ensure a perfect fit between the piston and the crankshaft. This tight tolerance is critical for smooth engine operation and power transfer, minimizing friction and wear. |
3. Balanced Design: Proper balancing of the connecting rod is essential for smooth engine operation. We designed our rods to be lightweight yet strong, ensuring the engine operates efficiently with minimal vibration and stress on other components. |
4. High Heat Resistance: Due to the extreme heat generated in the combustion chamber, connecting rods are made from materials that can withstand high temperatures without losing strength or structural integrity. |
