This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Length of Crank Pin - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Crank Pin is the size of the crankpin from one end to the other and tells how long is the crankpin.
Bending Moment at Central Plane of Crank Web - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Bending Moment at central plane of crank web is the reaction induced in the central plane of the crank web when an external force or moment is applied to the crank web causing it to bend.
Force on Crankweb - (Measured in Newton) - Force on Crankweb is the force acting onto the crankweb used in assembly of crankshaft & connecting rod, converts reciprocation of piston to rotation of crankshaft.
Thickness of Crank Web - (Measured in Meter) - Thickness of Crank Web is defined as the thickness of the crank web (the portion of a crank between the crankpin and the shaft) measured parallel to the crankpin longitudinal axis.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Bending Moment at Central Plane of Crank Web: 250000 Newton Millimeter --> 250 Newton Meter (Check conversion here)
Force on Crankweb: 6500 Newton --> 6500 Newton No Conversion Required
Thickness of Crank Web: 40 Millimeter --> 0.04 Meter (Check conversion here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
lc = ((Mbweb/Pweb)-(0.5*t))/0.75 --> ((250/6500)-(0.5*0.04))/0.75

Crank Pin for Different Engines

In a single-cylinder engine, straight engine, or flat engine, each crankpin normally serves just one cylinder. This results in a relatively simple design and it is the cheapest to produce. Most V engines have each pair of cylinders sharing a crankpin. This usually requires an offset between the cylinders in each bank, resulting in a simple connecting rod design. If a cylinder offset is not used, then the connecting rods must be articulated or forked at the big end. Forked connecting rods are mainly used in V-twin motorcycle engines, but in the past were found on a number of automobile and aero engines, such as the Rolls-Royce Merlin aero engine of the WWII era. Radial engines use a more complicated version of articulated connecting rods, where a single "master" connecting rod is attached to the single crankpin (one for each row in multi-row designs), and smaller bearings for each of the corresponding cylinders machined into the big end of the master rod.
