English term

piston pin

English to French Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks Combustion engine
A pin hole 3a penetrating in the radial direction of the piston 1 is provided in each of the two pin bosses 3.
The piston pin 1a can be inserted into the two pin holes 3a.
The pin boss axis is defined as a straight line connecting the hole centers of the facing pin holes 3a.


Si
piston pin = axe de piston (terme consacré),
pin bosses = bossages d'axe, et que
pin hole = orifice/perçage d'axe,
alors j'ai un problème pour traduire 'pin boss axis' (axe de bossage d'axe ...?)

Google et Google Images renvoient de nombreux résultats pour 'broche de piston' mais tous les résultats semblent venir de distributeurs asiatiques, d'où mes doutes.
Une idée ?

Merci à tous pour vos recherches. Je vais me contenter de la répétition. Le contexte fera le reste.
Bonne journée

pin boss axis Axe de symétrie des bossages d'axe de piston. Tant pis pour la répet. "pin hole": alésage d'axe. "Axe de piston" est en effet le terme consacré (je regarde mon livre de préparation au CAP de mécano). Aussi http://gdt.oqlf.gouv.qc.ca/ficheOqlf.aspx?Id_Fiche=2072296
Pour des raisons d'équilibre dynamique, l'axe de piston n'est pas dans le plan de symétrie du piston.

@Asker I see the problem. I believe that a "piston pin" is also known as a "gudgeon pin". Looking up "gudgeon pin" in a technical dictionary gives more French options than looking up "piston pin". That might help you. Not my subject or language direction, so I wouldn't suggest an answer.

axe de piston + moteur à combustion sur Google, c'est assez pertinent
