What Are the Names and Materials of Chainsaw Engine Components?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the identification and materials of chainsaw engine components, specifically the piston and crankshaft assembly. The piston, typically made of steel or aluminum alloy, is connected to the piston rod, which in turn connects to the crankshaft, also likely made of steel. The assembly does not have a universally recognized name, though terms like "Piston & Crankshaft Assembly" or "Reciprocating Parts Assembly" are suggested. Additional resources for engine part names are provided through a referenced diagram and parts list.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic engine components, specifically chainsaw engines.
  • Familiarity with materials used in engine manufacturing, such as steel and aluminum alloys.
  • Knowledge of engine assembly terminology, including terms like "piston," "crankshaft," and "connecting rod."
  • Ability to interpret engine diagrams and parts lists.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specific materials used in chainsaw piston and crankshaft manufacturing.
  • Explore the function and design of reciprocating parts in small engines.
  • Learn about the assembly process of chainsaw engine components.
  • Investigate the differences between various chainsaw engine models and their components.
USEFUL FOR

Engine mechanics, chainsaw manufacturers, and anyone interested in the construction and materials of small engine components will benefit from this discussion.

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..
