Crankshaft: Description and Operation
CrankshaftThe crankshaft is made of forged steel and has ground bearing journals, the surface of which is hardened via induction hardening. This generates a hard outer layer that protects against wear. The crankshaft is mounted in four main bearings, no. 3 of which has a thrust bearing. The crankshaft contains bored ducts for lubrication oil. The crankshaft is dynamically balanced. It is relatively compact and powerful, which reduces torsional vibration and vibration. The toothed wheel of the crankshaft position sensor is mounted on the rear edge of the crankshaft. It comprises a steel disc with 58 teeth and one space with no tooth.
