Piston Oil Control Ring

Oil control piston rings and seals are used in conjunction with other rings or as stand alone applications.

Piston oil control ring. Oil control rings and seals are used in light vehicle gasoline engines and truck diesel engines. An oil control ring is fitted into the lower groove of the piston. Taper sided compression rings are utilised to control ring sticking problems in high output engines. A piston ring is a metallic split ring that is attached to the outer diameter of a piston in an internal combustion engine or steam engine.

The first step is to place the spacer in the groove. The skirt of the piston and indeed the cylinder wall itself can be damaged and this damage can in turn wipe out the oil control ring assembly. Generally the second and third compression ring are taper faced and supplied to improve oil sealing. Improving heat transfer from the piston to the cylinder wall.

The main functions of piston rings in engines are. Grover oil control piston rings and seals are designed for diesel engine applications. They are available in single piece and spring energized configurations with a wide range of scraping land designs. Our rings function in sets usually a top compression ring second groove compression or oil scraper ring and oil control ring and range from 1 125 to 8 875 bores.

For the oil rings take out the rings marked 3 which are the rails and flex vents. Sealing the combustion chamber so that there is minimal loss of gases to the crank case. Maintaining the proper quantity of the oil between the piston and the cylinder wall regulating engine oil consumption by scraping oil from the cylinder walls. With the most comprehensive line of piston rings compression rings and oil rings in the world we have a piston ring for practically any application racing automotive heavy duty transportation agriculture industrial small engine and more.

The main function of the ring in the bottom piston groove is to scrape oil from the cylinder wall meaning oil control rings play a major part in regulating an engine s oil consumption. It must not be fitted in grooves other than ones of the same section. Oil control piston rings designed and manufactured for diesel engine applications. The oil ring is also the primary stabilizing component of the ring pack.

They don t have to seal against the bottom land either since the oil ring is not a compression ring but rather a control mechanism that cools and lubricates the piston by collecting oil and distributing it evenly on the cylinder walls. The oil control ring if the top compression ring has the most difficult of tasks in the engine then at the other end of the piston ring pack the oil control ring doesn t have it much easier.
