PISTON WITH PIN BORE LUBRICATION FEATURES

摘要

A piston has a piston body with a pair of pin bosses having pin bores aligned along a central axis. The pin bores have bearing surfaces, wherein at least one recess extends axially across at least one of the bearing surfaces. A groove extends partially about the bearing surface circumference and is arranged in fluid communication with the recess. The recess and groove provide a lubrication feature to the pin bore, while the bearing surface has an uninterrupted portion for enhanced load carrying capacity.
