    Types of Piston Rings

    Uploaded by

    BDineshPrabhu
    Piston rings in an engine include compression rings and oil control rings. Compression rings close the gap between the piston and cylinder wall and exert side pressure on the cylinder wall to seal the combustion chamber. Oil control rings prevent excess oil from leaking into the combustion chamber by scraping oil off the cylinder wall and directing it back into the engine's crankcase. Common types of compression rings are chamfered, tapered, and side grooved rings.

    Types of Piston Rings

    Compression rings or Gas rings Oil control rings or Oil regulating rings.

    Functions of compression ring


    Compression ring closes the gap between the

    pistons outside
    the cylinder wall,

    wall and

    The compression ring further


    exerts a side pressure

    (horizontal arrow)on the cylinder wall in addition to its elastic forces.

    Types of compression rings or Gas rings.

    A; Chamfered,

    B: Tapered,

    C: Side grooved

    Functions of Oil- ring


    The primary purpose of the
    oil ring is to prevent oil from leaking into the combustion chamber.

    Excess oil is scraped from the cylinder wall. Openings in the Piston wall direct oil back into the engines crankcase
