Piston Pins: Simple but Essential

To perform reliably under the loads and stresses of their environment, Federal-Mogul’s piston pins offer the following benefits:

• Strength and rigidity
• Durability and a high fatigue threshold
• Light weight to keep inertia forces to a minimum
• Superior surface finish for good bearing properties within the piston assembly
• Cost-effective production

Materials used in Federal-Mogul piston pins include:

• AE308 Boron steel for medium- and heavy-duty diesel applications
• AE527 Chromium steel for cold-extruded gasoline pins
• AE530 1 percent Chromium steel for cold-extruded diesel pins
