Abstract (en)
[origin: DE19608877A1] The crankcase (1) for piston engines, especially V-engines (2) has a power unit (3) of a ferrous material in a light-metal casing (4). In order to provide a rigid, lightened power unit (3), is proposed that a flange plate (5), serving to bound the crankshaft chamber and provide the bond to the casing, be offset towards the upper end of a cylinder so that its surface centre of gravity, seen from its frontal end, is at a distance on the near side of the central bearing plane of a crankshaft bearing (7) corresponding at least to the greatest possible distance of the surface centre of gravity of a stiffening section of a bearing cap (9) on the other side of the central bearing plane (11), where the crankshaft bearings (7) are secured to the flange plant (5) by struts.
