Piston rings are generally flexible parts in shape of ring with sealing characteristic. These parts are needed in a number of areas today. They are widely used and provide power in the piston machine systems, motors of different nature and some machinery systems.

Functional aspects of the piston rings have a quite powerful structure. Especially its high gas proof performance makes it one of most valuable products. They prevent burnt gases to the crankcase in the combustion chamber.

In addition to this magnificent characteristic, these parts also always prevent leakage during the compression of fuel and air mixture. In general, basic function of these important parts is to strip off oils on the cylinder surfaces and thus prevent burning. And in addition, transfer of heat in the piston to cylinder and cool down the piston for in this regard is also one of its basic functions.

Functional Aspects of Piston Rings

Piston rings can be classified under different types according to their operating system. Oil rings and compression rings are among them. Both types have an operating system of different quality. In according to the field of use and intended purposes, it is always mandatory to make the best selection among these options.
