About Piston Ring and its Sourcing

Tuesday, September 2, 2008
Piston Ring is known as the open-ended ring which, like an internal combustion engine or steam engine, gets fit into the groove on the piston outer diameter of a reciprocating engine. In the reciprocating engine, piston performs following 3 main functions-
  • It seals the combustion/expansion chamber.
  • It supports transfer of the heat from the piston to cylinder wall.
  • It regulates consumption of engine oil.
Automotive Piston Ring
Generally in most of the automobile pistons there are three rings. The top two besides controlling oil are primarily compression sealing. While the lower ring is used for controlling oil supply to the liner which in turns lubricate the piston skirt and the compression rings. One can find taper faced top rings also. Simple plain faced rings were used in the old engines.
Oil control rings are of mainly 3 types- Single piece cast iron, helicoil spring backed cast iron or steel, multipiece steel.
To source Piston Ring one can refer the list of manufacturers and Suppliers of Piston Ring at online B2B Marketplaces.
