The function of a piston ring or metallic seal depends on its application. For example, a compression ring in an internal combustion engine is used as a seal, and an oil scraper ring in an internal combustion engine can ensure the cylinder wall is always thinly coated with oil. This disposed of excess oil and cools the cylinder wall.
The function of a piston ring or metallic seal is (primarily) focused on sealing, oil regulation/lubrication or improving heat conduction. The type of piston ring required therefore depends on the specific application. If you would like to know which ring best suits your application, please feel free to contact us.
Assorted designs of several types of rings are shown below. Upon your request, we can bevel the inner or outer edge of the piston ring or metallic seal. This is indicated by KI (inner edge) and KA (outer edge). We also offer various additional options, such as an expander, multiple materials in a single ring or discharge grooves, for example.
If these examples do not include the type you are looking for, or if you would like additional information on the application, please feel free to contact us.
