Undersquare Undersquare

Undersquare - Definition

A piston engine is undersquare if its cylinders have a smaller bore (width, diameter) than stroke (length of piston travel). This can be a negative trait, since a longer stroke means greater friction and a weaker crankshaft. An undersquare engine usually has a lower redline than an oversquare one, but it may generate more low-end torque.
