Piston Ring Oil Control

The main function of the ring in the bottom piston groove is to scrape oil from the cylinder wall meaning oil control rings play a major part in regulating an engine s oil consumption.

Piston ring oil control.

Oil control rings and seals are used in light vehicle gasoline engines and truck diesel engines. They don t have to seal against the bottom land either since the oil ring is not a compression ring but rather a control mechanism that cools and lubricates the piston by collecting oil and distributing it evenly on the cylinder walls. Grover oil control piston rings and seals are designed for diesel engine applications. By manipulating the different.

They are available in single piece and spring energized configurations with a wide range of scraping land designs. Unlike the others the tension of the oil ring is controlled by the radial thickness of both of the oil rails as well as the size of the gap in the expander ring. Taper sided compression rings are utilised to control ring sticking problems in high output engines. It is an excellent motor ring or seal.

Hastings is the pioneer of oil control ring technology. An oil control ring is fitted into the lower groove of the piston. The oil ring is also the primary stabilizing component of the ring pack. Oil control piston rings and seals are used in conjunction with other rings or as stand alone applications.

Oil control piston rings designed and manufactured for diesel engine applications. The hastings oil control ring is energized by our flex vent expander which provides uniform pressure through two steel rails assuring positive oil control.
