A crankshaft is a key part of an internal combustion engine, responsible for converting the pistons’ up-and-down motion into the rotational motion needed for power transmission. Constructed from tough materials like forged steel or cast iron, it endures high stress and heat.

📌 Parts of a Crankshaft:
1. Main Journals - Support and hold the crankshaft in place.
2. Crankpins - Connect to the pistons, transferring their force.
3. Crank Throws - Convert the pistons’ linear movement into rotation.
4. Counterweights - Help balance the crankshaft to reduce vibration.
5. Flywheel Mount - Ensures smooth and continuous rotation.
6. Oil Passages - Lubricate the crankshaft to prevent wear.

📌 How It Works:
As the pistons move due to combustion, the connecting rods turn the crankpins, converting linear motion into rotational energy. This energy powers the drivetrain, driving the vehicle.

📌 Benefits:
1. Efficient energy conversion.
2. High durability under tough conditions.
3. Keeps the engine balanced and running smoothly.
4. Critical for generating and transmitting engine power.

📌 Warning Signs of a Faulty Crankshaft:
1. Engine Vibration - Imbalance from damage.
2. Knocking Noises - Worn journals or bearings.
3. Oil Leaks - Caused by seal damage.
4. Engine Misfires - Faulty timing leads to poor piston synchronization.
5. Check Engine Light - ECU detects crankshaft issues.

📌 9 Common Types of Nuts Used in Engineering (With Simple Examples)
By Akwa Mechanic

Nuts are essential fasteners used with bolts to securely join parts together. Here are 9 commonly used types in engineering and construction:
1. Fl**ge Nut
Features a built-in washer base that spreads load evenly and prevents loosening. Ideal for fast, secure assemblies.
2. Hexagonal Nut (Hex Nut)
The most widely used nut with six sides for easy tool grip. Found in nearly all machinery and construction work.
3. Knurled Nut
Has a textured surface for easy hand tightening. Best for electronics and lightweight applications.
4. Wing Nut
Equipped with two “wings” for turning by hand. Perfect for tools or setups that need frequent adjustments.
5. Square Nut
Four-sided design offers more contact area. Common in vintage machinery and wooden joints but needs specific tools.
6. Thumb Nut
Round nut with ridged edges made for hand-tightening. Used in tripods, appliances, and access panels.
7. Ring Nut
A circular nut tightened with special tools. Used on shafts and spindles in mechanical systems.
8. Capstan Nut
Cylindrical with side holes for bar or pin tightening. Ideal for marine, industrial, and heavy-duty use.
9. Cap Nut (Acorn Nut)
Encloses the bolt end to prevent rust and injury. Provides a neat finish in bikes, furniture, and outdoor fittings.
