Abstract
A crankshaft for a controlled variable compression ratio engine has an axis of rotation defining a longitudinal axis and comprises at least one crank pin, at least one journal connected by a connecting web, and at least one control element able to move translationally along the longitudinal axis in order to cooperate with an actuator of a system for adjusting the length of a connecting rod. The crankshaft is notable in that the control element, positioned at the connecting arm, comprises an annular part coaxial with the crank pin and capable of establishing continuous contact with the actuator of the system for adjusting the length of the connecting rod, regardless of the angular position of the crankshaft. The crankshaft comprises a fluidic control circuit for moving the control element along the longitudinal axis.
