Abstract
A connecting rod with an elliptical opening couples with a crankshaft without the use of a separate bearing element. The elliptical opening deforms under axial tension during operation to provide proper clearance between an inner surface of the opening and an outer surface of the crankshaft. A method for producing a connecting rod with an elliptical opening includes creating an initial form, compressing the crankshaft end of the form with a clamping means, honing a circular opening, releasing the clamping means, and forming radii at each edge of the resulting opening.
