Veivakselsomløp
Veivakselsomløp refers to the rotational movement of the crankshaft within an internal combustion engine. The crankshaft converts the linear, reciprocating motion of the pistons into rotational motion. This rotation is essential for powering the vehicle, as it drives the transmission and ultimately the wheels. The term is of Norwegian origin, directly translating to "crankshaft revolution" or "crankshaft circulation."
During the four-stroke cycle of most gasoline and diesel engines, the crankshaft completes two full revolutions
The design and balance of the crankshaft are crucial for smooth engine operation. Imbalances can lead to
