Engine Piston
A piston is a cylindrical engine component that slides back and forth in the cylinder bore by forces produced during the combustion process. The piston acts as a movable end of the combustion chamber. The stationary end of the combustion chamber is the cylinder head. Pistons are commonly made of a cast aluminum alloy for excellent and lightweight thermal conductivity. Thermal conductivity is the ability of a material to conduct and transfer heat. Aluminum expands when heated, and proper clearance must be provided to maintain free piston movement in the cylinder bore. Insufficient clearance can cause the piston to seize in the cylinder. Excessive clearance can cause a loss of compression and an increase in piston noise.
Piston features include the piston head, piston pin bore, piston pin, skirt, ring grooves, ring lands, and piston rings.
How to Calculate Radius of Piston Cup?
Radius of Piston Cup calculator uses Radius of Piston Cup = 0.7*Diameter of Cylinder Bore to calculate the Radius of Piston Cup, The Radius of Piston Cup is the radius of the circular end cross-section of the piston cup. Radius of Piston Cup is denoted by R symbol.
