Piston for Mercedes-Benz OM364

This piston, identified by part number 87-740000-02, is engineered for the Mercedes-Benz OM364 engine. It functions as the reciprocating component that moves within the engine cylinder to convert energy from the combustion process into mechanical force, which is then transferred to the crankshaft. The component features the necessary grooves to accommodate piston rings, which maintain the required seal and compression levels within the combustion chamber during operation.

This part is compatible with the Mercedes-Benz OM364 engine, which is frequently utilized in heavy machinery, industrial cranes, and commercial vehicles. It is manufactured to meet the specific dimensional requirements of this engine series to ensure proper fitment and movement within the cylinder bore. Proper installation of the piston is required to maintain engine compression and facilitate the conversion of thermal energy into mechanical work.

In internal combustion engines, the piston acts as a movable boundary for the combustion chamber. It must manage the thermal and mechanical stresses associated with the power stroke while maintaining a seal against the cylinder wall to prevent gas leakage and manage oil consumption.
