Crosshead Assembly using Fusion 360

Fusion 360 is a 3D modelling software which is presented by Autodesk, a brand that is well known for their famous products such as AutoCAD, Autodesk MAYA, Autodesk Inventor etc., Fusion 360 is a cloud based CAD tool which can handle tasks such as CAD, CAM & simulation. The area where Fusion 360 excels is at, ‘Rapid prototyping’. Whereas it’s other components are also no less than the industry standard.

Fusion 360 utilizes its cloud based operation, which makes it possible for several users to work on a single project, it also makes the software work light on the user’s system. Fusion 360 grants free access for students and hobbyists who use Fusion 360 for non-commercial uses.

In this particular video, we use Fusion 360 to create a 3D model of Cross head. A Cross head is a part used generally in reciprocating engines to transmit power from the piston to the crankshaft. The short strokes of IC engines provide minimal room for the connecting rod and crankshaft, because of this, if the connecting rod is used directly, the radius of the piston’s power stroke output would be larger than the cylinder itself, so, the cross head mechanism used to convert the rotational stroke of the piston to sliding motion which in turn is converted into rotational motion by the crankshaft.
