Cast Iron Piston Rings

EPM can manufacture cast iron piston rings fast, typically in 4-6 weeks.

PERMASEAL

Permaseal piston ring
Permaseal is a reliable metallic piston ring sealing design engineered to provide dependable sealing performance in demanding applications. Its precision-machined construction provides consistent contact and helps control leakage while accommodating the operating conditions of the application. PermaSeal is available in a range of sizes and configurations to meet specific sealing requirements.

TWIN SEAL

Twin Seal piston ring

Twin seal is developed specifically to provide the lowest possible leakage of any metallic piston ring seal. The basic design consists of two Butt Cut outer rings, a spring steel anti-extrusion ring, and an elastomeric inner seal.

When Twin Seal is used to pass ports, each outer ring must be wider than the diameter of the port.

HOOK TYPE

Hook Type piston ring

Hook type is generally used in automatic transmissions and wherever blind assembly requires passing counter-bores and oil passage slots.

STEP CUT

Step Cut piston ring

Step cut is a standard piston ring design with proven reliability for noncritical sealing applications.

BUTT CUT

Butt Cut piston ring

Most often used where high leakage rates are permitted because of unrestricted oil flow through the open joint.

2 RING SET

2 Ring Set piston rings

A Butt Cut inner ring and a Step Cut outer ring provide excellent high-temperature, high-pressure sealing performance.

3 RING SET

3 Ring Set piston rings

Best possible sealing with an all-metallic seal. Set consists of 1 Butt Cut inner ring and 2 Butt Cut outer rings.

Butt, Angle & Step Cut piston rings are available on special order.
