The connecting rod is a mechanical part that is subject to tensile or compressive stresses, transmitting the movement and articulating other parts of the engine. In an internal combustion engine, the connecting rod is the element that connects the piston to the crankshaft. They are designed to resist not only combustion forces, but tensile forces too, since they make an ascending path without compression.

The NPC ® Connecting Rods are manufactured with chrome-nickel steel, that provide enough rigidity and prevent deformation.
