There are many, many types of pistons. The pistons of a 4-cycle gasoline internal combustion engine are different from those in a diesel powered or two-cycle two cycle engines. There are other alternative fuels that require specialized pistons too. Then within a group, such as 4-cycle gasoline automobile engines there can be domed, or pistons with valleys or cut-outs for the valves. There short sleeves, long sleeves, thick or thin wall, or cuts for different types of rings. There are literally thousands of different types or variations of pistons.

If you have a larger piston in hydrolics pushing two smaller pistons does it exert the same force per smaller piston that you push on the larger piston?

it depends on the surface ratio, if both small pistons have the same surface area, then the same amount of force will be applied.


How do car brakes work?

In modern disc brakes, a piston (or two pistons) squeeze two composite pads onto a rotor attached to the wheel. In the older drum system a piston forced two 'Shoes' apart internally in the drum attached to the wheel. Both systems use hydraulic power to activate the pistons.


Calculate the force output by the larger piston of a hydraulic lift when a force of 700 n is exerted on the smaller piston the areas of the two pistons are 20 cm squared and 950 cm squared?

How many pistons rod bushing does a car has?

Two per cylinder. Each connecting rod has two that connect to the crank shaft Strictly, a piston rod may have three bushes. If a fully floating piston pin is used, then there will be a bush at the small end. The big end bearings are in two pieces, but are not usually known as bushes.


How many pistons does a motorbike have?

one or two.


How many pistons does a Wankel engine have?

Wankel Engines don't have pistons. They have rotors instead. The rotor is vaguely triangular, and turns in a cleverly shaped, oval chamber. The combustion volume is formed by the space enclosed between two of the tips of the rotor and the walls of the chamber. But just like piston Engines can have different numbers of pistons, wankel Engines can have different numbers of rotors.

Is it true that valves are pistons which when they are pressed produce a wider range of notes?

yes and no. yes, they do create a wider range of notes by giving the air different piping to travel through. and there are actually two types of valves: piston and rotary. the piston valves are pretty self explanatory- think of the valves in a carburetor for example). the other kind is the rotary valve which turns instead of going up and down. this kind is controlled by strings and springs.


How many pistons does each wheel cylinder have?

A wheel cylinder describes "Drum Brakes" - Drum brakes have one cylinder with two diametrically opposed pistons.


What is mean engine V8 4.7 L?

The internal combustion engine has 8 pistons. Two rows or "banks" of 4 pistons at an angle to each other to form a "V" shape. The displacement of the engine (the size of the combustion chambers of all piston cylinders added together for the entire engine) is 4.7 liters.


How many different types of disc brake calipers are there?

There are two main types of calipers: floating (or sliding) calipers and fixed calipers. Floating calipers move in and out relative to the rotor and have one or two pistonsFixed calipers, as the name implies, don't move, but rather have pistons arranged on opposing sides of the rotor.


What pistons can you use for a 302 bored 050 over can you use 040 over pistons and 010 over rings?

NO, the pistons and rings must be correct for the bore size. Example: Your 302 Ford bored .050 has a 4.050 bore so it would need a piston ofapproximately 4.046 (forged piston) for a clearance of .004 your piston being .010 too small would cause .014 clearance and massive blow by, oil fouling of the plugs, piston noise, scored cylinder walls, poor performance, and VERY short engine life. Get the right parts, do it right the first time, it is cheaper in the long run. Also if .010 over rings are used in a .050 overbored engine your ring gap would be HUGE! You cannot "add up" the two spec. You need +.050 pistons and +.050 rings. Please note if you are using cast pistons you can run tighter (smaller) clearances than in the above example. The best method is to have the block bored after you have the pistons, so your machinists can measure them and bore/hone to the exact spec. If your block is already bored and you know the EXACT bore measurement, order them from a reputable piston manufacture as most are pretty accurate now days, just make sure you double check the specs when they arrive.
