Overview

• Function: The flywheel helps to regulate the engine's speed and maintain momentum during operation, ensuring smoother performance.
• Material: Cast zinc offers good strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and durability, making it suitable for outdoor equipment.

Benefits

1. Lightweight: Zinc is lighter than traditional materials like cast iron, which can enhance engine efficiency.
2. Corrosion Resistance: Ideal for outdoor use, zinc resists rust and degradation from exposure to moisture and elements.
3. Thermal Conductivity: Zinc dissipates heat effectively, which can help in maintaining optimal engine temperatures.

Applications

• Lawn Mowers: Commonly used in various types of lawn mowers, from push mowers to riding mowers.
• Small Engines: Found in other small engine applications, such as generators and snow blowers.
