Piston ring for Link-Belt LS-118

The 1A4823 piston ring serves as a component within the internal combustion engine of the Link-Belt LS-118 crane. It seals the combustion chamber to maintain engine compression and prevents combustion gases from escaping into the crankcase. Additionally, this ring regulates lubricating oil consumption by removing excess oil from the cylinder walls and aids in transferring heat from the piston to the cylinder block for cooling purposes.

This part is compatible with the Link-Belt LS-118 crane. Piston rings are installed in the grooves of the piston and must withstand the reciprocating motion and pressure changes inherent in engine operation. Proper installation ensures the engine maintains its power output and fuel efficiency.

In general, piston rings are categorized by their specific roles, such as compression rings which seal the combustion chamber and oil control rings which manage lubrication on the cylinder liner. These rings are essential for maintaining the seal between the piston and the cylinder wall, which is necessary for the engine to generate power during the combustion cycle.
