Manufacturer: Bepco
Country of origin: Great Britain
Spare part for JOHN DEERE diesel engine

Purpose of the piston:

A piston is a cylindrical part of an internal combustion engine that makes a reciprocating movement inside a larger cylinder and serves to convert a change in the pressure of gas, steam or liquid into mechanical work, or vice versa - a reciprocating movement into a change in pressure.

Piston structure:
The piston consists of three parts that perform certain functions:
- the bottom;
- sealing part;
- guide part.
The bottom and the sealing part form the piston head. To transfer force from the piston (or vice versa), a rod or connecting rod can be used, which is connected to the piston with the help of a finger. In some cases, the rod can play the role of a guiding device
