Crankshaft of an internal combustion engine with cylinders arranged in a V shape

摘要

The invention relates to the crankshaft of an internal combustion engine with cylinders arranged in a V shape, in which the crankpins of two cylinders directed towards one throw are staggered within this throw. In order to overcome the technical manufacturing problems occurring and the strength problems in the crankpin overlap area, a disc-shaped connecting rod stop flange enclosing the projected contour of the crankpins is provided in the overlap area between the two crankpins.
