Abstract: An outer circumferential surface of a piston ring has a cut surface forming a notched portion between an outer circumferential end surface and a lower surface, the cut surface including a first surface between the outer circumferential end surface and a bottom portion, and a second surface between the bottom portion and the lower surface. The second surface is inclined away from a central axis of the piston ring as it extends toward a crank chamber side, an angle of inclination of the second surface with respect to the bottom portion being greater than or equal to 50° and less than or equal to 85°. When an axial width of the piston ring is h1 and a distance in an axial direction between a connecting portion between the cut surface and the outer circumferential end surface and a connecting portion between the cut surface and the lower surface is H, H/h1 is greater than or equal to 0.2 and less than or equal to 0.4.

Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a cylinder liner or a cylinder bore, which can reduce not only friction on a sliding surface but also oil consumption. In a piston sliding direction of the cylinder bore, grooves of a second sliding region positioned on the side of crankcase have a higher groove area ratio at a depth of 0.3 μm than grooves of a first sliding region positioned on the side of combustion chamber, and the groove area ratio is in a specific range, whereby friction and oil consumption can be reduced.

Abstract: An oil control ring comprises: an oil ring having a pair of land parts arranged in a sliding direction and connected to each other by a web part; and a coil expander that biases the oil ring toward the outer circumferential side in the radial direction. The web part of the oil ring is provided with a plurality of window holes. In the axial cross-sectional view of the largest opening portion of the window hole in the axial direction of the oil ring, a width H1 in the sliding direction of the oil ring and a length L1 of a combustion chamber-side non-window hole part, which excludes the window hole, in the outer circumferential surface of the web part, satisfy the condition of 0.15>L1/H1≥0.
