320-3619: Slider Piston

Description: A sliding piston is a mechanical device consisting of a cylindrical body with a flat surface called a piston head, which slides back and forth within a cylinder. The piston head is sealed with piston rings to prevent air or fluid leakage between the piston and the cylinder walls. The resulting expansion of gases pushes the piston, which then turns a crankshaft to produce rotational motion. Attributes: • Designed to withstand high temperatures and pressures. • Convert the energy from combustion or fluid pressure into mechanical energy. • Durable and resistant to wear and corrosion. • Smooth and free surface finish. Applications: A Sliding piston is used in engines, and compressors to convert pressure into mechanical energy. They are extensively used in Cat 422E, 422F, 424, 426, 426F, 427, 427F, 428, 428E, 428F, 432, 432E, 432F, 434, 434E, 434F, 442E, 442F, 444, 444E, and 444F Backhoe Loader.
