How to Specify a Custom Crankshaft

A B2B guide to custom crankshaft specifications, drawings, samples, stroke, crank pin, connecting rod and RFQ requirements.

Start With the Application

Identify the vehicle or engine application, engine model and intended use before discussing a custom crankshaft. This gives the project review a defined starting point and avoids treating a model name alone as a complete specification.

Provide a Drawing, Sample or Existing Crankshaft

A drawing, physical sample or existing crankshaft can provide the reference needed to review a custom configuration. Include the information available for stroke, crank pin, connecting rod, main dimensions and counterweight requirements.

Confirm the RFQ Scope

A useful crankshaft RFQ also identifies quantity, branding or packaging requirements and the intended application. Final specifications are confirmed for the individual project before production discussions proceed.
