Description:
The Piston Skirt helps to reduce friction between the piston and the cylinder wall by providing a smooth surface for the piston to slide against. It is typically located at the bottom of the piston, just above the piston pin. It extends down into the cylinder and is in contact with the cylinder wall as the piston moves up and down.
Attributes:
• Support the piston as it moves up and down in the cylinder, preventing it from wobbling
• Preventing it from overheating and causing damage to the engine
Applications:
The Piston Skirt is used in pistons to provide a seal in the combustion chamber, this is mostly used in Cat 140H, 143H, 14H, 160H, and 163H Motor Grader, 3176, 3176B, 3176C, 3196, C-10, C-12, C10 and C13 Engine (Piston), 345 345B and W345B Excavators, 480 and 485 Combine Harvester, 572R Pipelayer, 65E, 75, 75C, 75D, 75E, 85C, 85D, 85E, 95E, and D7R Track Type Tractor, 725 Articulated Truck, 776D Truck, 814F Wheel Type Tractors, 815F and 816F Compactor, 966G, 972G, R1300, R1600, R1600G, R1700 and R1700G Wheel Loader, CPS361, CPT372, CPT372TT and SBF214 Pumper, Cement Trucks, TH35, TH38, TR35 and TR43 Powertrain, TK1051 Tree Harvester.
