CRANK SHAFT ASSEMBLY FOR A V-TYPE INTERNAL-COMBUSTION ENGINE

摘要

The invention relates to a crankshaft drive for an internal-combustion engine of V-type with a crankshaft, which has two mutually offset crank pins per throw, which pins are interconnected via an intermediate web. In order both to minimize the amount of machining required on the intermediate web and to ensure an optimum axial guidance of two connecting rods mounted on the crank pins, the intermediate web has an axial stop collar on either side and the intermediate web is of an enlarged design such that the axial stop surface of the connecting rods cannot jut out from the projected area of the intermediate web in any crankshaft position.
