Question

Difference between centre crankshaft and overhung crank shaft

Answer 1

With a overhung crankshaft you have the crank shaft supported at only one end and do not need a connecting rod with a split big end. ... Designs with this overhung crankshaft generally use a double roll ball bearing or two deep groove ball bearing with a small distance between them to handle this moment load.

Answer 2

Answer:

A crankshaft is a rotating shaft that converts reciprocating motion of the pistons into rotational motion whereas the side or overhung crankshafts are used for medium size and large horizontal engines.
