Combustion motor Flashcards
(27 cards)
Converts the reciprocating motion into rotational motion
Crankshaft
Controls the valves
Camshaft
Converts combustion energy into mechanical action
Piston
The roof of the combustion chamber
Cylinder head
Connects the piston to the crankshaft
Connecting rod
Holds the components of the motor
Engine block
Synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and the camshaft
Timing belt
Controls the air/fuel mixture entering the cylinder
Intake valve
Controls the exhaust exiting the cylinder
Exhaust valve
Ignites the air/fuel mixture
Spark plug
Moves liquid fuel into the cylinder
Injector
Connects to the output shaft and makes the rotation produced by the engine smooth
Flywheel
Contains the lubrication oil in the engine
Oil pan
Makes up the crankshaft to ensure its stability
Bearings
Where the air/fuel mix is ignited
Combustion chamber
Ensures that the air coming to the engine is distributed evenly
Intake manifold
Transfers power from the camshaft to the piston in overhead valve engines
Push rod
The camshaft is sat below the combustion chamber
Flathead engine
The camshaft is sat over the combustion chamber
