DAF
Piston for DAF engines
This piston is designed for use in DAF engines to facilitate the compression of the air-fuel mixture and convert combustion energy into mechanical motion. It features precisely machined grooves for piston rings to maintain a seal and manage oil consumption.

The piston 87-174100-02 functions as a primary moving component within the combustion chamber of DAF engines. It is responsible for compressing the air-fuel mixture during the intake and compression strokes and transferring the force generated by the combustion process to the connecting rod, thereby converting thermal energy into mechanical movement. The component includes specific grooves engineered to house piston rings, which provide the necessary seal against the cylinder wall to maintain compression and regulate oil control within the crankcase.
This component is compatible with DAF engine applications. It is manufactured by the actual manufacturer specified in the technical documentation for these engine systems. The piston geometry and dimensions are engineered to meet the specific requirements of the engine block and cylinder bore to ensure proper clearance and operation during the combustion cycle.
In heavy machinery and crane engines, pistons are subjected to significant cyclic loads and thermal variations. They must maintain structural integrity while reciprocating at high speeds to ensure the engine operates within its designed power and efficiency parameters. Proper fitment of the piston and rings is necessary to prevent blow-by and maintain consistent engine performance.
