Pistons & cylinders

The pistons and cylinders of an engine are key components for combustion and power generation. The piston moves up and down in the cylinder and compresses the air-fuel mixture, which is then ignited.

This movement converts the explosive force into mechanical energy, which is transferred to the gearbox via the crankshaft. Pistons and cylinders must be precisely manufactured to minimise friction and ensure maximum efficiency.

Wear or damage to these parts can significantly impair engine performance and lead to serious mechanical problems.

Regular inspections and, if necessary, the replacement of piston rings or cylinders are essential in order to maintain the optimum function of the engine.
