Noun
A beam or bar across the head or end of a rod, etc., or a block attached to it and carrying a knuckle pin; as the solid crosspiece running between parallel slides, which receives motion from the piston of a steam engine and imparts it to the connecting rod, which is hinged to the crosshead.

Refrigeration was a two-stage process with a large Linde unit on the ground, and a crosshead compressor within the antenna. Source: Internet
Slow-speed engines are predominantly large two-stroke crosshead engines, hence very different from high- and medium-speed engines. Source: Internet
These engines typically use crosshead pistons. Source: Internet
This pin is mounted within the piston: unlike the steam engine, there is no piston rod or crosshead (except big two stroke engines). Source: Internet
To make these more compact, they avoided the steam engine's usual piston rod with separate crosshead and were instead the first engine design to place the gudgeon pin directly within the piston. Source: Internet
