Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual: Crankshaft, Main Bearing
Purpose, Function
-
The crankshaft converts the reciprocating movement of the piston to a rotational movement via the connecting rod.
-
The main bearing forms an oil film on the outer surface of the crankshaft journal to prevent wear due to sliding.
Construction
Crankshaft
-
The crankshaft is installed to the inside (crankcase) of the cylinder block.
-
The crankshaft has a key groove to match timing to the crankshaft pulley.
-
The crankshaft has the following parts shown in the figure.
-
The optimized shaft diameter ratio of the crankshaft journal and crank pin has reduced sliding resistance while maintaining rigidity.
-
The steel crankshaft has five bearings and eight counterweights for improved accuracy in the rotational balance.
-
The crankshaft journal and crank pin have been induction hardened* to bear high loads.
-
The crankshaft has an oil passage for supplying engine oil to the crankshaft journal and crank pin.
