Automotive Crankshaft Market - Global Industry
Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and
Forecast 2015 - 2021
The global automotive crankshaft market has been covered under the scope of this
report. The rising demand for automobiles globally and the demand for high end
performance vehicles has propelled the growth of companies which manufacturer’s
automotive crankshafts. Crankshaft is a core element of an engine; it converts the
linear motion of the pistons to rotational motion to power the wheels. These
components are highly used in automobiles, industrial applications, communication
sector and printer & imaging devices among others.
The main function of a crankshaft is the conversion of linear motion of the piston to
rotational motion, which would power the wheel. Crankshaft in automobile
comprises of cast iron, forged steel and machined crankshaft. Crankshaft can be of
two designs; flat plane and cross plane. Flat plane crankshafts are much lighter but
are imperfectly balanced. On the other hand cross plane crankshaft are perfectly
balanced but are heavier than flat plane crankshafts.
Various types of crankshafts are available depending upon the type of vehicle and
its purpose. According to the manufacturing process, there are two types of
crankshafts: flat plane, and cross plane. A flat plane crankshaft is simple in design,
produces loud noises and generates vibration in the engine. A balancer shaft is
required to balance a flat plane crankshaft. Cross plane crankshafts on the other
hand, are perfectly balanced and are mostly used in V8 engines. Cross plane is a
crankshaft design for piston engines with a 90 degree angle between the crank
throws.
