Thread: Defective Gearbox/Crank assembly
01/09/2013 05:03:46

I appreciate your guys opinions on us should being able to visualise the piece but i'm not sure you realise that the majority of practical work in engineering in British universities is done in the finals project, with all the run-up to that being CAD work, technological science, modelling analysis, materials science and business/economics. This work has clearly been taken from a time in the course before such modules existed, when practical work was far more in focus, which is why so many students have found this post helpful.

In particular it would be helpful where these parts are located, and what purpose they serve (I have absolutely no autmotive engineering experience and have been asked to complete this by the 31st):

  1. Oscillating Shaft and its' gland
  2. Slider (and its' inner bearing)
  3. Bevel gear and woodruff key
  4. Square drive in crank plate
  5. Gudgeon pin
  6. Cantilevered connecting rod
  7. Pinion shaft

What is the type of engine called he has shown diagrams for, and are there any diagrams labelling what each part is called? A reply asap would be of great help thanks, I have been given this assignment also.
