Piston And Ring Assembly

The Piston and Ring Assembly is a crucial component of diesel engines. It is part of the Diesel Engines and Components supply class, which falls under the Engines, Turbines, and Components supply group.

The Piston and Ring Assembly consists of several parts that work together to facilitate the combustion process in a diesel engine. The main components include the piston, piston rings, and piston pin.

The piston is a cylindrical component that moves up and down within the engine cylinder. It is responsible for compressing the air-fuel mixture and transmitting the force generated by combustion to the crankshaft.

The piston rings are metal rings that are fitted around the piston. They provide a seal between the piston and the cylinder wall, preventing the combustion gases from escaping and ensuring efficient combustion. The rings also help to regulate the oil distribution on the cylinder wall.

The piston pin, also known as the wrist pin, connects the piston to the connecting rod. It allows the piston to pivot and transfer the force generated by combustion to the connecting rod and ultimately to the crankshaft.

Overall, the Piston and Ring Assembly plays a critical role in the functioning of a diesel engine by facilitating the combustion process and converting the energy generated into mechanical power.
