Steam Engine--Built by Rob Beijersbergen

Cylinders

The cylinders with the crankshaft are built on a frame. I have decided to use three different size cylinders. The frame is build up with angle girders #7a and #9 were between are mounted three flange plates #52 for the cylinders and one flat plate #52a for the centrifugal governor. Also are built on this frame the brackets for the crankshaft. These consists of four corner gussets #108 and two corner gussets were between is built a flat plate #72.
The biggest cylinder is the #162 cylinder that with a connecting-rod that is made with four perforated strips #2a is connected to the crankshaft and via a end bearing #166 with a axle rod #15a that goes into the cylinder. This axle rod is bearing through a bush wheel #24 what is build into the inner side of the cylinder end #162a. With a little bit oil onto the axle rod can move the axle rod noiseless into the cylinder.
