crank by jogonjon February 12, 2009
A name for a student who is enrolled in the Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam. This term applies to the nerdiest of all music nerds: those students who can not make conversation without including a cheesey music joke or discussion of the latest piece they are working on.
Wow, you are such a craney!

crank dat robocop 

To have rough sex with a girl and have alot of stamina in doing so. Referencing "robocop" from the movie, this would suggest that the person in question is a "machine" in bed by "cranking dat robocop".
Even though robocop's manhood is constantly called into question, the saying rolls off the tongue quite nicely and sounds pretty kick-ass
"Then watch me crank dat robocop" - Souljah boy: Crank dat

crankshaft 

An important part of an Internal Combustion Engine. It serves the biggest role of an engine, converting Linear motion to Rotary motion. It takes the piston's up-and-down motion, pushing the connecting rod therefore turning the crankshaft. It contains counter-weights to balance the crankshaft so to reduce noise and vibration. It is also connected to the camshaft for timing purposes via a timing belt.

The crankshaft must turn without friction, therefore it has bearings on the case and bearings around the connecting rod. Oil must be supplied, in fact the crankshaft sits in the oil pan. There must be little play, but lateral play occurs, see Crankwalk.

On Manual Transmissions, the wheel with teeth at the end of the crankshaft is called the Flywheel. On Automatic Transmissions, it is called a Flex Plate.
My crankshaft is experiencing crankwalk!
