2Piston ring — A piston ring is an open ended ring that fits into a groove on the outer diameter of a piston in a reciprocating engine such as an internal combustion engine or steam engine. The three main functions of piston rings in reciprocating engines are:# …
3piston crown — The very top of the piston. The piston crown transmits the pressure created during the ignition of the air/fuel mixture to the piston pin, then to the connecting rod, and from there to the crankshaft. The diameter of the piston crown is slightly… …
4piston collapse — A reduction in the diameter of the piston skirt caused by heat and constant impact stresses. Also see collapsed piston …
5piston skirt expanding — Enlarging the diameter of the piston skirt by inserting an expander, by knurling the outer skirt surface, or by peening the inside of the piston …
6piston bore — The diameter of the hole in the cylinder block in which the piston moves back and forth between top dead center (TDC) and bottom dead center (BDC) …
7piston skirt expander — A spring device placed inside the piston skirt to produce an outward pressure which increases the diameter of the skirt …
8piston ring ridge — That portion of the cylinder above the top limit of ring travel. In a worn cylinder, this area is of a smaller diameter than the remainder of the cylinder and will leave a ledge or ridge that must be removed …
9Angle seat piston valve — An angle seat piston valve is a pneumatically controlled valve with a piston actuator providing linear actuation to lift a seal off its seat. The seat is set at an angle to provide the maximum possible flow when unseated. Angle seat piston valves …
10Fire piston — A fire piston, sometimes called a fire syringe, is a device of ancient origin which is used to kindle fire. It uses the principle of the heating of a gas (in this case air) by its rapid (adiabatic) compression to ignite a piece of tinder, which… …
