Connecting Rod

A connecting rod, also referred to as a con-rod or link rod, is a crucial component in the internal combustion engine that links the piston to the crankshaft. It facilitates the transfer of force from the moving piston to the rotating crankshaft, thus converting linear motion into rotational motion. Made primarily of steel, connecting rods must be strong and lightweight while being able to withstand immense mechanical stress during engine operation.
