An internal part of an internal combustion engine that slides back and forth inside a sleeve If the piston must be replaced, the sleeve must be replaced also
The piston moves in the cylinder to carry power to the connecting rod see cylinder, connecting rod, four cycle engine
A cylindrical part, closed at the top, that moves up and down inside the cylinder to compress the fuel/air mixture and drive the engine by means of a connecting rod, which is attached to the piston at one end and to the crankshaft at the other
A partly hollow cylindrical part closed at one end, fitted to each of the engine's cylinders and attached to the crankshaft by a connecting rod Each piston moves up and down in its cylinder, transmitting power created by the exploding fuel to the crankshaft via a connecting rod
A cylindrically shaped metal piece (like a plug) that is moved back and forth in a cylinder by pressure from explosion of the air/fuel mixture fed into the cylinder then ignited by the sparkplug Or in other applications, from the introduction of liquid or air In an engine, an explosion in the cylinder forces the piston downward (power stroke), which in turn moves the crankshaft powering the car In a hydraulic system, like your brakes, when the brake pedal is depressed, liquid is pushed against a piston, which presses a pad against a rotor, attached to the wheel slowing the car In an air brake system, air is applied to an air chamber, which houses a piston that is moved from air forcing against it This piston is connected via a mechanical linkage to a lever that applies the brakes
A round metal cylinder which is attached to the top end of the connecting rod, inside of the cylinder The piston compresses the air - fuel mixture on the upward motion, and is pushed downward when the air - fuel mixture explodes This downward motion then drives the crankshaft
A device used to convert hydraulic power to mechanical power Used to push the ram down and pull the ram up
a sliding piece moved by or moving against fluid pressure which usually consists of a short cylinder fitting within a cylindrical vessel along which it moves back and forth
It usually consists of a short cylinder fitting within a cylindrical vessel along which it moves, back and forth
In a hollow metallic waveguide, a longitudinally movable metallic plane surface that reflects essentially all the incident energy Note: A piston is used for tuning, e g , fine-tuning a resonant cavity Synonym plunger
A piston is a cylinder or metal disc that is part of an engine. Pistons slide up and down inside tubes and cause various parts of the engine to move. a part of an engine consisting of a short solid piece of metal inside a tube, which moves up and down to make the other parts of the engine move (pistone , from pistare )
A round or cylindrical plug, which closed at one end and open at the other It slides up and down in the cylinder It is attached to the connecting rod and when the fuel charge is fired, will transfer the force of the explosion to the connecting rod then to the crankshaft
In mechanical engineering, a sliding cylinder with a closed head (the piston) that moves up and down (or back and forth) in a slightly larger cylindrical chamber (the cylinder) by or against pressure of a fluid, as in an engine or pump. The cylinder of a steam engine is closed by plates at both ends, with provision for the piston rod, which is rigidly attached to the piston, to pass through one of the end cover plates. The cylinder of an internal-combustion engine is closed at one end by a plate called the head and open at the other end to permit free oscillation of the connecting rod, which joins the piston to the crankshaft
An adjustable split metal ring that fits around a piston and seals the gap between the piston and the cylinder wall. a circular metal spring used to stop gas or liquid escaping from between a piston and the tube that it moves in
(Otomotiv) Metal rings located in grooves on the outside of the piston that keep the fuel/air mixture from leaking past the piston into the crankcase during compression and that keep oil from going up into the combustion chamber. Faulty rings can cause poor compression, severe blow-by, and excessive smoking from the tailpipe
