Motor Cycle Engine Internal Setup - Connecting Rod

grabcad

The Final files for this Connecting Rod Design, enjoy,Solidworks 2014 files with added IGES/STEP,Parasolid,STL & Creo Part files as well. PLEASE COMMENT & PRESS THE LIKE BUTTON IF YOU DOWNLOAD ( THATS THE HEART SHAPED BUTTON- TOP RIGHT) In this Project i have been trying to create a "Motor Cycle Engine" Internal Setup. This model i have learned in one tutorial video.The whole project has been carried out mainly in two software one is PTC CREO & other is Solidworks 2014 for GRAB CAD audience. This will be uploaded part by part as its long one. *CONNECTING ROD*In a reciprocating piston engine, the connecting rod or conrod connects the piston to the crank or crankshaft. Together with the crank, they form a simple mechanism that converts reciprocating motion into rotating motion. Connecting rods may also convert rotating motion into reciprocating motion. Historically, before the development of engines, they were first used in this way. As a connecting rod is rigid, it may transmit either a push or a pull and so the rod may rotate the crank through both halves of a revolution, i.e. piston pushing and piston pulling. Earlier mechanisms, such as chains, could only pull. In a few two-stroke engines, the connecting rod is only required to push. Today, connecting rods are best known through their use in internal combustion piston engines, such as automotive engines. These are of a distinctly different design from earlier forms of connecting rods, used in steam engines and steam locomotives.(Source-Wikipedia) I have uploaded only one fine rendered image with full detailed in Photoshop & Keyshot. I hope you guys like it. ***So stay tuned for more upcoming parts***.
