Crosshead

In mechanical engineering, a crosshead is a mechanical joint used as part of the slider-crank linkages of long stroke reciprocating engines (either internal combustion or steam) and reciprocating compressors to eliminate sideways force on the piston. The crosshead also allows the connecting rod to move freely outside the cylinder. Because of the very…
