What is the name of this component (of a chainsaw engine)? And what material is it?

In summary, the component as a whole is a reciprocating engine, and the individual parts are made of different materials.

Just wondering what the name of the component as a whole is? And what is it made of? Also, if you could tell me the name of all the constituent parts, that would be great!

What component?

Your images aren't visible to anyone but you, qablos. All we see are tiny boxes with a question mark in them.

Sorry, can you see this?

If not, here is the URL: http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/550838_10152294230555602_1422802942_n.jpg

PS.
I'm mainly interested on what the cylinder at the bottom is made of and It's name...
Is it just a cylinder?0 It also has a bar going across it, which attaches it to the other components.

Also, if you know what the other materials in the picture are likely to be, please list them along with a description of the part. Thanks.
Thanks.

The cylinder at the bottom is a piston (should be ring in the slot going around it but it's missing). The vertical bar is the piston (connecting) rod, and it's connected to the crankshaft which has a counter-balance to the left of where the piston rod connects. The piston and piston rod are probably made of steel or some aluminum alloy. The crank-shaft is probably made of steel, and the counter balance may be steel or iron.

What rcgldr said.

There isn't really a name for the assembly as a whole just the individual parts. I suppose some manufacturers might sell that as one assembly and make up a name for it but could be anything...

Piston & crankshaft Assembly?
Reciprocating parts Assembly?

For other engine part names try the diagram and parts list here..

Related to What is the name of this component (of a chainsaw engine)? And what material is it?

1. What is the name of this component?

The specific component in question is known as the "piston" in a chainsaw engine.

2. What is the function of the piston in a chainsaw engine?

The piston is responsible for compressing the fuel and air mixture in the engine, as well as converting the energy from the combustion process into a linear motion that drives the chainsaw.

3. What material is the piston made of?

The majority of pistons in chainsaw engines are made of aluminum alloy, which is lightweight, durable, and has good thermal conductivity properties.

4. Are there any other common materials used to make pistons?

In addition to aluminum alloy, some pistons may also be made of cast iron or steel. However, these materials are less commonly used in chainsaw engines due to their heavier weight and lower thermal conductivity.

5. How does the material of the piston affect the performance of the chainsaw engine?

The material of the piston can affect the overall weight and balance of the chainsaw, as well as its ability to dissipate heat. A lighter piston made of aluminum alloy can improve the power-to-weight ratio of the chainsaw, while a heavier piston made of cast iron or steel may provide more stability and durability. Additionally, the thermal conductivity of the material can impact the engine's ability to cool and maintain optimal operating temperatures.
