  • Engines (Motor Vehicles)
  • Bearings and Bearing Systems (Mechanical Components)

Main and connecting rod bearings perform a difficult but necessary job in an engine. They must support the engine's moving parts, withstand the combustion forces produced in the cylinder and, at the same time, allow the crankshaft to rotate with minimum friction.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Moteur (Véhicules automobiles)
  • Paliers, coussinets et roulements (Composants mécaniques)
CONT

Les coussinets de palier et de bielle d'un moteur ont une fonction à la fois difficile et indispensable.
