We offer complete power cylinder (piston, rings, pin and cylinder bore) design and development services:
Selection of basic architecture, material and manufacturing process3D Solid Modeling (CAD) for complete control of geometry and tooling.
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to minimize weight and optimize durability.
Custom design features required to optimize a given application.
Piston profile optimization for durability, power, hydrocarbon emissions and fuel economy.
Resolution of performance and durability issues: Piston Scuffing, Friction Reduction, Ring and Groove Wear, Ring Microwelding, Oil Consumption, Fuel Economy, Hydrocarbon Emissions, Blow-by, Ring Flutter, Pin Bore Wear, Pin Bending and Ovalization, Skirt Collapse, Skirt cracking, Pin boss cracking, Crown or Combustion Bowl Cracking
Engine design and development support for systems that affect the piston: Cooling System, Lubrication System, Combustion, Calibration and Tune-up, Cylinder Bore Material and Honing, Gaskets and Clamp Loads.
Thermal and mechanical loading that causes bore distortion: Engine Diagnostic Support, Piston Temperature Measurement, Oil film Thickness Measurement, Surface Finish/Texture Measurement and Optimization, and Piston Size and Form Inspection.
