322-3149: Piston Body

A Piston body is a key component of an internal combustion engine. It is a cylindrical or barrel-shaped part that moves up and down within the engine cylinder. The top of the piston body is known as the crown and the lower part is the skirt is designed to minimize friction and maintain proper alignment within the cylinder. The rings provide a seal between the piston and the cylinder wall, preventing combustion gases from escaping and oil from entering the combustion chamber. Attributes: Designed to withstand intense heat and pressure. Minimize friction and maintain proper alignment within the cylinder. Maintain strength and durability. Applications: A Piston body is used for efficient engine performance, and withstanding the harsh conditions of combustion. It is extensively used in Cat® C12 Engines (Piston).
