Product type
Pistons are cylindrical components found in internal combustion engines that move up and down within the engine's cylinders. They are typically made from aluminum alloys or cast iron, which provide a balance of strength and weight. The piston's movement is driven by the combustion of fuel and air, converting chemical energy into mechanical energy to power the vehicle.
| Material | Aluminum alloys or cast iron |
| Diameter range | 50 mm to 150 mm |
| Height range | 30 mm to 100 mm |
| Weight | 200 g to 1,500 g |
| Compression ratio | 8:1 to 12:1 |
When selecting pistons, consider the engine type and specifications such as diameter, height, and weight. It's important to specify the desired compression ratio and material based on the engine's performance requirements. Additionally, inquire about any necessary certifications and tolerances to ensure compatibility with existing components.
