🛠️ Crankshaft Connecting Rod Bearing

For Yamaha Golf Cart Models G2, G5, G8, G9, G11, G14 (1985–1996)

✅ Uses

The Crankshaft Connecting Rod Bearing plays a critical role in the internal operation of your golf cart’s engine. Its main function is to support and cushion the connecting rod’s motion on the crankshaft, allowing smooth rotation and minimizing wear caused by metal-on-metal contact.

Primary Uses:

• Engine Rebuilds: Replaces worn or damaged rod bearings during major repairs or restorations.

• Performance Maintenance: Ensures proper oil clearance and engine timing for optimal performance.

• Vibration Reduction: Helps reduce knocking, friction, and vibration from crankshaft and connecting rod interaction.

• Preventative Repair: Installed as a part of routine maintenance to avoid costly engine failure.

✅ Key Properties

🏭 Manufacturing Process

The production of crankshaft connecting rod bearings involves a high-precision, multi-step process to ensure strength, durability, and accurate dimensions:

1. Material Selection

• Bearings are made from multi-layer composite materials: steel backing for strength, with layers of copper-lead or aluminum alloys for friction control and embed-ability.

2. Metal Bonding & Cladding

• A bonding process attaches the bearing surface materials to the steel shell.

• Layers may include:

  • Steel base layer

  • Copper-lead or aluminum alloy mid-layer

  • Soft overlay (e.g., tin or lead alloy) for smoothness and protection

3. Forming & Shaping

• The bearing shell is stamped or forged into its semi-circular shape.

• Precision machining is used to ensure inner and outer diameters match engine specs exactly.

4. Surface Finishing

• Bearings undergo fine grinding, polishing, and coating for a uniform surface and oil-retaining characteristics.

• Some bearings include a grooved surface or oil hole to improve lubrication.

5. Quality Control & Testing

• Bearings are tested for:

  • Dimensional accuracy

  • Material hardness and strength

  • Surface roughness and thickness

  • Resistance to fatigue and thermal stress

• Non-destructive testing (NDT) methods like ultrasound or X-ray may be used to detect internal flaws.

6. Packaging & Labeling

• Final products are carefully packaged in moisture-proof and anti-static packaging to prevent corrosion and contamination before installation.

• Part numbers, torque specs, and application info are typically included on the label.
