The crankshaft for a Wärtsilä 26 engine with part number 1100001 is a core rotating component that converts the reciprocating (up-and-down) motion of the pistons into rotational motion, which powers the ship’s propeller or electrical generator.

Crankshaft Function

Converts linear piston motion into rotational motion

Works with:

Connecting rods (attached to pistons)

Main bearings (supporting the crankshaft inside the crankcase)

Crankshaft Structure in a Wärtsilä 26

Forged or cast steel for strength and durability

One-piece crankshaft for each engine (not modular)

Contains:

Main journals (sit in the bearings)

Crankpins (offset for each piston)

Counterweights (to balance the rotation and reduce vibration)

Oil passages for lubrication

Designed to handle:

High combustion pressures

Continuous operation under varying loads

High fatigue resistance due to alternating bending forces
