WHAT DOES PISTON ROD MEAN IN ENGLISH?

piston rod

Piston rod

In a piston engine, a piston rod joins a piston to the crosshead and thus to the connecting rod that drives the crankshaft or the driving wheels. Internal combustion engines, and in particular all current automobile engines, do not generally have piston rods. Instead they use trunk pistons, where the piston and crosshead are combined and so do not need a rod between them. The term piston rod has been used as a synonym for 'connecting rod' in the context of these engines. Engines with crossheads have piston rods. These include most steam locomotives and some large marine diesel engines.

Definition of piston rod in the English dictionary

The definition of piston rod in the dictionary is the rod that connects the piston of a reciprocating steam engine to the crosshead.
