About Piston Position Calculator (Formula)
The Piston Position Calculator determines the position of a piston within an engine based on the crankshaft radius, length of the piston rod, and angle of the crankshaft.
The formula used for this calculation is as follows:
Piston Position = r * cos(a) + sqrt(b^2 – r^2 * sin(a)^2)
where:
- r is the crankshaft radius (in inches),
- a is the angle of the crankshaft (in degrees),
- b is the length of the piston rod (in inches).
This formula calculates the position of the piston in relation to the crankshaft rotation, taking into account the length of the piston rod and the angle of the crankshaft.
