Technology

Piston rings and cylinder liners, interacting with pistons and the cylinder bore, are essential components of an engine. Car and engine manufacturers all over the world rely on Federal-Mogul’s technology and quality.

Piston rings

As engine components, piston rings have three main functions. They must

• provide a seal between the combustion space and crankcase
• help to convey heat from the piston to the cylinder wall
• control oil consumption.

Applications

Ninety percent of GOETZE piston rings are produced for engine service, including engines for model airplanes, lawnmowers, cars and commercial vehicles, and large-bore marine engines.

The remaining 10% of applications are in the industrial sector, such as for hydraulics and transmissions.
