PISTON TOP CHAMFER DESIGN TO REDUCE NOISE AND FRICTION

摘要

Disclosed is a piston having a top chamfer functioning as an oil reservoir, the top chamfer designed to reduce piston noise and friction. The top chamfer partially defines a tapered volume or cavity configured to enhance oil flow to the middle portions of the piston skirt so as to increase lubrication during piston up stroke and thereby reduce piston noise and friction.
