Due Time and Date: 9:00am, September 26, 1997

  1. Hand in the engineering drawings of EXAMPLE 3-4, which is on page 120.
  2. Construction of a right-hand crankshaft for a six cylinder engine. To facilitate your work, the following procedure is provided to clarify the dimensions and to instruct you how to use COPY and MOVE functions. You need to hand in the engineering drawings with dimensions, just like te work you have been asked in the above problem.


Put the figure here!



The following procedure is for construction part of the crankshaft. The geometry for construction is shown in figure 1. It consists of three pairs of cranks which have the same dimensions.



Figure 1. Crankshaft of an Auto Engine

Let's first create one crank. Selet DTM3 as the datum plane and flip the arrow to point to z negative direction. Select DTM2 as the top reference plane. Create the sketch as shown in figure 2(a). The depth of the crank is equal to 0.6.
