WinGD X92DF - Connecting Rod and Connecting Rod Bearing (Generic); Connecting Rod and Connecting Rod Bearing

5.3.5 Connecting rod and connecting rod bearing
The connecting rod connects the crosshead with the crankshaft and converts the linear
movement of the piston into a circular movement of the crankshaft.
The bearing shells are installed on the connecting rod for the bottom end bearing and the top
end bearing. The top bearing cover is lined with white metal.
Crosshead lubricating oil flows through the guide shoe into the crosshead pin. A hole in the
crosshead pin lets lubricating oil flow into the bearing shells.
