A crankshaft is a key component of an engine, responsible for transforming linear motion into rotational force. It's typically made from steel and consists of a series of connecting rods that attach to the pistons in each cylinder. The rotation of the crankshaft powers various components within the engine, such as the camshaft and supercharger, allowing the vehicle to operate effectively. Its design plays a crucial role in determining overall engine performance.
