Forged connecting rod with improved beam

Реферат: The utility model discloses a forged connecting rod with improved beam for increased load bearing capacity and improved fuel efficiency. The improvements done on the beam are tapering one side thereof herein referred to as tapered side in order to reduce stress concentration during load application thereby improving its load bearing capacity. Another improvement feature is that the front and rear portions of the beam are defined by a pair of longitudinal depressions and a central ridge member disposed therebetween said longitudinal depressions. These depressions reduce the weight of the whole connecting rod thereby improving its fuel efficiency during operation.
