Characteristics of piston rings with different shapes

1. Rectangular ring: the cross section of the rectangular ring is rectangular. It has simple shape, convenient processing, large contact area with cylinder wall, and is beneficial to heat dissipation of piston. However, the running-in performance is poor, and the pump oil function is strong, which increases the oil consumption and causes serious carbon deposit on the piston top and combustion chamber. Now this kind of piston ring is rarely used. 2. Conical ring: the outer circular surface of the conical ring is a conical surface with a small cone angle (The cone angle is generally 30 ′~ 60 ′). The conical ring is in line contact with the cylinder wall, which has good running-in property and increases the contact pressure and adaptability to the shape of the cylinder wall; However, with the increase of running-in degree, the contact surface gradually becomes larger and finally becomes a common rectangular ring. In addition, the conical ring can play a role of scraping oil downward when the piston goes downward, and has a role of distributing oil when the piston goes upward, which can form a wedge-shaped oil film to improve lubrication. However, the conical ring has poor heat transfer, so there is no need to make the first air ring. Because the cone angle is very small, it is generally not easy to identify. In order to avoid wrong installation, the upper side of the ring is marked with an upward mark (TOP). 3. Twisted ring: The twisted ring is a part of the inner circle or outer circle edge of the rectangular ring, so that the section is asymmetrical. Such a piston ring is called a twisted ring. If the inner circular part of the ring is notched or chamfered is called the inner circular ring, the outer circular part of the ring is notched or chamfered is called the outer circular ring. If a part of the upper edge of the inner circular surface or the lower edge of the outer circular surface is cut off, the whole air ring will be twisted into a dish shape, which is called a positive twisted ring; If a part of the lower edge of the inner circular surface is cut off, the Air ring will be twisted into a cover shape, which is called an anti-twist ring. Do you know the piston ring, the part with the highest engine technology? After the twisted ring is loaded into the cylinder, the piston ring is twisted and deformed due to the unbalanced force caused by the asymmetrical section. It has the characteristics of a conical ring, which has the function of distributing oil when the piston is ascending, and can form a wedge-shaped oil film to improve lubrication; When the piston goes down, it has an oil scraping effect to avoid oil burning. At the same time, due to the shortened stroke of the upper and lower runout of the twisted ring in the ring groove, the side effects of' pump oil' can be reduced, the impact force can be reduced, and the wear and tear can be reduced; The power stroke ring is no longer twisted, and the two sealing surfaces reach complete contact, which is beneficial to heat dissipation. Because the twisted ring has many advantages, it is widely used at present. When installing, the shape and direction of the section must be paid attention to: the inner upper twisted ring is loaded into the first ring groove, and the inner cut is upwards; The outer cut twist ring is loaded into the second and third ring grooves with the outer cut facing down. Must not be reversed, otherwise the engine oil consumption will increase sharply.

Nowadays, the adoption of custom piston rings in auto diesel piston ring company industry is quite common.

High-End Product Introduction: CKS (CID) Piston Ring

Our CKS (CID) Piston Ring adopts upgraded Chromium-based Composite Ceramic technology, an industry breakthrough that meets Euro IV emission standards and delivers double the wear resistance of conventional chrome plating.

The process forms uniform mesh textures inside the outer chrome layer, filled with wearresistant particles to enhance anti-friction performance. The mesh structure also provides excellent oil storage capacity, effectively lowering friction and protecting cylinder liners. The ring body is strengthened by nitriding treatment, boosting hardness, strength and impact resistance.
Piston ring is broken what symptom phenomenon does leak have?
Piston ring is broken what symptom phenomenon does leak have?
The bad piston ring​ may be related to the air leakage caused by its wear or coke connection with the piston ring groove. If after cutting off a cylinder, the exhaust gas no longer from the oil or vent vent, the cylinder piston is not good use.
What is the  role of piston ring?
The piston ring is the core component of the fuel engine. It seals the fuel gas with the cylinder, piston, and cylinder wall. Piston ring functions include four functions: sealing, adjusting engine oil (oil control), heat conduction (heat transfer), and guide (support).
