A bearing cap (11) fastened to a bulkhead (2) of a cylinder block (1) by bolts to support a crankshaft. A pair of protruding parts (25, 26) that enlarge a joint surface (12) between the bearing cap (11) and the bulkhead (2) in a transverse direction of the...

The internal combustion engine has four cylinders (2) provided in a crank case (1). A crankshaft (5) is supported over main and auxiliary bearings (6-8) in the crank case (1), such that main bearings (6,8) are provided outside the outer cranks (5a,5d) of t...

A method for manufacturing an engine includes the steps of: casting a side skirt having first and second opposing sidewalls and casting a transverse wall of the cast material connecting the sidewalls. The transverse wall will form a bulkhead and a main bea...

A casing for an internal combustion engine, particularly for motor-vehicles, includes an upper part or cylinder block (2) made of an aluminum alloy, and a lower part (6) made of a magnesium alloy and, in turn, including an upper section (7) and a lower sec...

The crankcase (1) has a divided crankshaft bearing (2) with bearing block (2a) extending between two crankcase walls (1a, 1b). The reinforcing element (3) has a support element (4) to rest on the bearing cap (2b). The support element can be varied in its p...

The split bearing for an IC engine crankshaft is made from a light alloy. Each half-bearing contains an alloy-embedded insert (2) of a material with a higher modulus of elasticity. The bearing halves (1a, 1b) are bolted together and the bore for (4) the bo...

The bearing cap assembly (4), for the bearings at a motor crankshaft (5) in an internal combustion motor (1), is fitted at the cylinder block (2) with at least two groups of bearing caps which are not bonded together. In particular, the first and second be...

A bearing member manufacturing method manufactures a bearing member 20 formed of a light-metal-base material and capable of stably supporting a rotational shaft at a reduced manufacturing cost. The bearing member manufacturing method manufactures a bearing...

The cradle (2) fitted in an engine (1) by mounting bolts (6) has bearing covers (5) on the cylinder block side and a sealing surface between the cradle and the cylinder block, surrounding the cradle. The resting surface (53) between the bearing cover and t...

The support has divided bearings to guide the crank shaft, with bearing shells arranged between bearing blocks (1) and bearing covers (3). Additional extensions (4) are provided, which are connected in the longitudinal direction by reinforcement elements (...
