What Are the Names and Materials of Chainsaw Engine Components?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around identifying the names and materials of various components of a chainsaw engine, including the overall assembly and individual parts. Participants seek clarification on specific components and their materials, as well as the terminology used in the context of engine mechanics.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant asks for the name of the engine component as a whole and its constituent parts, along with their materials.
  • Another participant questions which specific component is being referred to, indicating a lack of clarity.
  • Several participants note that the images shared are not visible to others, which complicates the discussion.
  • A participant expresses interest in the cylinder at the bottom of the engine, questioning its name and material composition.
  • One participant identifies the cylinder as a piston and mentions that it should have a ring, which is missing. They also describe the piston rod and crankshaft, speculating that these parts are likely made of steel or aluminum alloy.
  • Another participant agrees with the previous identification and suggests that there is no standard name for the assembly as a whole, proposing terms like "Piston & crankshaft Assembly" or "Reciprocating parts Assembly" as possible names.
  • A link to a diagram and parts list is provided for further reference on engine part names.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the identification of certain components, such as the piston and piston rod. However, there is no consensus on the name of the assembly as a whole, and some uncertainty remains regarding the visibility of shared images and the specific components being discussed.

Contextual Notes

The discussion is limited by the inability of participants to view the images shared, which may affect the accuracy of the identifications and descriptions provided. Additionally, the terminology for the assembly is not standardized, leading to varied suggestions.

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..
