  2. Hydraulic clearance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_clearance

    Pistons: The clearance between the piston and cylinder wall is crucial for preventing leakage and maintaining hydraulic efficiency. A tight clearance minimizes fluid loss, while a clearance that is too small can lead to increased friction and wear. The piston's design and the material used influence the optimal clearance. [2] Hydraulic spool ...

  3. Abradable powder coatings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abradable_powder_coatings

    Better piston fit in each bore keeps rings square to the cylinder and settled for improved sealing, heat transfer and oil management. All across the skirts (not just at the gage point) APC safely removes Integrated Skirt Clearance (ISC) volume between piston skirt and bore surface to limit destructive motion and accelerations between cylinder ...

  4. Valve timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_timing

    In a typical piston valve arrangement, the timing of the intake and exhaust events for each cylinder are inextricably related as they are governed by the movement of a single piston uncovering two ports. However, the duration of the intake event can be controlled (the "cut-off") using the reversing gear and this reduces steam usage under ...

  5. Hypereutectic piston - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypereutectic_piston

    However, hypereutectic pistons experience less thermal expansion than forged pistons. For this reason, hypereutectic pistons can run a tighter piston to cylinder clearance than forged pistons. This makes hypereutectic pistons a better choice for stock engines, where longevity is more important than ultimate performance.

  6. Engineering fit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_fit

    Engineering fits are generally used as part of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing when a part or assembly is designed. In engineering terms, the "fit" is the clearance between two mating parts, and the size of this clearance determines whether the parts can, at one end of the spectrum, move or rotate independently from each other or, at the other end, are temporarily or permanently joined.

  7. Axial piston pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_piston_pump

    An axial piston pump has a number of pistons (usually an odd number) arranged in a circular array within a housing which is commonly referred to as a cylinder block, rotor or barrel. This cylinder block is driven to rotate about its axis of symmetry by an integral shaft that is, more or less, aligned with the pumping pistons (usually parallel ...

  8. Plastigauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastigauge

    Plastigauge is a measuring tool used for measuring plain bearing clearances, such as in engines.Other uses include marine drive shaft bearings, turbine housing bearings, pump and pressure system bearings, shaft end-float, flatness and clearance in pipe-flanges and cylinder heads.

  9. Four-stroke engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-stroke_engine

    The cylinder wall is a thin sleeve surrounding the piston head which creates a space for the combustion of fuel and the genesis of mechanical energy. A four-stroke (also four-cycle ) engine is an internal combustion (IC) engine in which the piston completes four separate strokes while turning the crankshaft.
