is a cylinder stroke movement of the piston from top dead center to bottom dead center, it is a factor which determines an engine performance.
1. Mistakes cylinder stroke
of the cylinder stroke is not shorter or the longer the better.
2. What is the cylinder stroke
· short cylinder stroke movement of the piston means relatively short distance, in the sameThe number of the reciprocating motion can be more time, easier to achieve a relatively high engine speed.
cylinder stroke length, is able to achieve a relatively high engine torque.
· cylinder stroke also determines the center of gravity of an engine, the height of the lower short-stroke cylinder, a lower center of gravity is obtained.
On the contrary, the center of gravity cylinder stroke length of the engine is relatively high. .

we can see a real-life example of extreme piston travel: F1 racing engine.
current F1 cars used are 2.4 liters displacement V8 engine, piston stroke less than 40 mm, and the maximum speed can reach 18,000 rpm widespread.
In contrast, a displacement of 2.4 Accord, but the piston stroke of 99 mm, the maximum speed of only 6500 rpm.
It is well able to illustrate the effect of the piston stroke characteristic of the engine.
