1. What is Horizontal Reaction on Bearing 2?

Horizontal Reaction on Bearing 2 of centre crankshaft due to tangential force is the horizontal reaction force on the 2nd bearing of crankshaft because of the tangential component of thrust force acting on connecting rod at maximum torque conditions.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ R2h = \frac{Pt \times b1}{b} \]

Where:

\( R2h \) — Horizontal Force at Bearing2 by Tangential Force (N)
\( Pt \) — Tangential Force at Crank Pin (N)
\( b1 \) — Centre Crankshaft Bearing1 Gap from CrankPinCentre (m)
\( b \) — Gap Between Bearing 1&2 of Centre Crankshaft (m)

Explanation: This formula calculates the horizontal reaction force on the second bearing based on force distribution principles in crankshaft mechanics.

3. Importance of Horizontal Force Calculation

Details: Accurate calculation of horizontal reaction forces is crucial for proper bearing design, stress analysis, and ensuring the structural integrity of crankshaft systems under maximum torque conditions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter tangential force in Newtons, bearing gaps in meters. All values must be positive and non-zero for accurate calculation.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is tangential force at crank pin?
A: Tangential force at crank pin is the component of thrust force on connecting rod acting at the crankpin in the direction tangential to the connecting rod.

Q2: How is bearing gap measured?
A: Centre crankshaft bearing gap is measured as the distance between the bearing center and the line of action of force on the crank pin.

Q3: When is maximum torque typically achieved?
A: Maximum torque occurs at the engine speed where the engine produces its peak twisting force, which varies depending on engine design.

Q4: Why is this calculation important for crankshaft design?
A: This calculation helps determine bearing loads and ensures proper sizing and material selection for crankshaft components.

Q5: Are there any limitations to this formula?
A: This formula provides a simplified calculation and may need to be combined with other force calculations for comprehensive crankshaft analysis.
