Abstract:
A piston for a fluid-actuated working cylinder, with a piston base unit which is coaxial to a piston longitudinal axis, consisting of a rigid core body which has radial outer peripheral surface and of an annular filling body which is seated in an annular receiving groove. The receiving groove is coaxial to the piston longitudinal axis and in the region of the radial outer peripheral surface is designed with a radially outwardly facing groove opening in the core body. The piston further includes a ring element which consists of plastic. The ring element radially outwardly coaxially encompasses the piston base unit at least in the region of the filling body, being radially supported with a radial inner peripheral surface on the piston base unit, projecting radially beyond the radial outer peripheral surface of the core body and comprising an axially orientated axial support surface radially outside the piston base unit on its two axial face sides. The piston further includes an annular enveloping body which has rubber elastic characteristics.
Abstract:
A brake cylinder piston assembly having a composite piston head having a bore formed therethrough, a cup positioned in the bore and coupled to the piston head, and a hollow rod securely welded to the cup. The cup is coupled to the piston head by a series of fingers with locking tabs that extend around the bore of the piston head and engage a rim of the cup. The bore of the piston head has two steps that correspond to the two steps formed into outside of the cup so the two step outer diameter of the cup is securely seated in the two step inner diameter of the bore. A plastic load disc having a hemispherical cavity may be positioned within the end of the hollow rod that is secured to the cup to absorb high energy hand brake releases.
Abstract:
An assembly for a combustion engine may include a piston and a connecting rod. The piston may include a piston crown, a piston skirt, and respective portions for accommodating a piston pin through which the piston is intended to be supported on the connecting rod. The piston skirt may have a completely closed bottom part and apertures may be provided in the portion for accommodating the piston pin. The apertures may seal against the piston pin to enclose a bottom part of the piston crown as well as the piston crown portion for accommodating the piston pin. The connecting rod may have a fork shape in an end facing the piston.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A piston assembly and method of making the same are disclosed. An exemplary piston assembly may include a multi-piece skirt secured to a piston crown having a ring belt portion defining a cooling gallery. The crown may include one or more a struts extending away from the ring belt portion to define a wrist pin bore(s). The piston skirt assembly may include two separate portions that each have at least one skirt support securing the respective skirt portion to the strut. A cover plate may be provided that is secured between a radially inner surface of the ring belt portion of the crown and a radially outer surface of the strut, such that the cover plate defines in part the cooling gallery.
Abstract:
A system, in certain embodiments, includes a crosshead having a crosshead body, a recess formed in an outer surface of the crosshead body, and a lubricant port extending through the crosshead body from the recess to an aperture of the crosshead, wherein the crosshead is configured to move in a reciprocating motion in a machine.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a piston device which is disposed in a cylinder. The cylinder has a chamber including a bore and an inner wall. The piston device comprises a piston body and at least an annular ring. The piston body has a top side and a bottom side, the diameter of the piston body is smaller than the bore, and either one of the top side or the bottom side has a convex portion. The annular ring is clamped to the top side or the bottom side by engaging said convex portion, and the annular ring has a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the piston body. While said piston therein moves reciprocally at which the axial direction of the cylinder, the annular ring slides against the inner wall but the piston body has no contact with said inner wall.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an aluminum piston for a combusion engine having a ring element, which is made of NiResist, is placed in the radially outer edge area of the piston head, and which, together with the base body, forms an annular cooling channel. The ring element is fastened to the base body of the piston via a screwed connection.
Abstract:
A method for the production of a forged piston for an internal combustion engine, having a combustion depression provided on the piston head. The piston is formed from a first cylindrical unmachined part having at least one flat face made of oxidation-resistant steel and a second cylindrical unmachined part having at least one flat face made of hot-forgeable steel, with the same diameters. The two unmachined parts are formed to produce a piston blank, by means of forging, causing the combustion depression to be formed from oxidation-resistant steel. The piston blank is subsequently finished via machining to produce a piston ready for installation in the internal combustion engine. Simple and cost-effective production of a piston having a reduced tendency to oxidize at the edge of the depression, and improved protection against wear caused by erosion, is achieved in that the unmachined parts are brought together at their flat faces and aligned with respect to their diameters (d), so that the faces form a minimal projection and a minimal parting. Subsequently, the unmachined parts are fixed in place at the parting by a minimal number of weld points.
Abstract:
A hydraulic piston for a disc brake assembly includes a metallic cylinder with a bottom at one end and a hollow resin cylinder with an opening at each end. The hollow resin cylinder is disposed in an inner surface of the metallic cylinder and closes the opening at one end of the hollow resin cylinder. The hollow resin cylinder further includes a main part disposed in the inner surface of the metallic cylinder and a flange portion having an outer diameter which is wider than the outer diameter of the main part of the hollow resin cylinder. The flange portion is formed on the main part at the other end of the hollow resin cylinder, integrally or with a separate member. An annular groove is defined between the flange portion and an open end of the metallic cylinder.
