549-8397: 3.5mm Thick Piston Top Ring

Description: A Piston Ring is a component of an internal combustion engine that helps seal the combustion chamber and transfer heat from the piston to the cylinder walls. It is typically made of cast iron, although other materials such as steel, stainless steel, or even ceramics may also be used. Piston rings are located near the top of the piston and are designed to fit tightly against the cylinder wall. They prevent the combustion gases from leaking past the piston and into the crankcase, while also preventing oil from leaking into the combustion chamber. Attributes: • Designed to seal the combustion chamber and transfer heat from the piston to the cylinder walls. • Resistant to wear and tear. • Designed for longevity. Applications: A Piston Ring is a critical component of internal combustion engines, providing a tight seal and helping to regulate engine temperature. They are used in a wide range of applications, from small engines to large industrial engines, and are essential for ensuring reliable and efficient operation. It is used in Cat 1706, 1706D, 3516C, C9, and C9.3B Engine (Piston), 323D, 330, 330D, 336D, 340D, and 345 OEM Applications, 330D, 336, 336D, 336F, 340, 340D, 345, 349D, 350, 374F, 568, and MH3050 Excavators, 521, and 522 Tree Harvester, 966, and 972 Wheel Loader, 973, and 973K Track Loader, C9.3 Engine-General Platform (C9), D6, D7, and SEM832F Track Type Tractor, MD6640 Drills, MH3250 Material Handler, PM3, and RM400 Paving Equipment.
