Cat Pistons, Rings, Liners, and Rods

New Caterpillar Pistons, Rings, Liners, and Rods are designed and

manufactured using quality materials and controlled processes for

maximum performance and durability.

Quality materials and controlled processes ensure top performance and long life

Improved structural capability of the

single piece forged steel piston

simplifies assembly and eliminates

the number of parts.

New oil jet with higher oil velocity

provides more concentrated cooling.

Reduces thermal expansion and

allows piston fit to be tighter for a

reduction in cavitation.

Reduction in surface area provides

less friction and helps improve fuel

consumption.

Precise plasma or chrome plating guarantees

exceptionally long wear life.

Proper surface finish provides smooth

operation and long wear life.

Barrel-faced top ring maintains the proper

oil film thickness on the cylinder liner for

reduced liner damage and oil consumption.

Durable heat-treated ductile iron constructionresists breaking and impact loading.

Precise fit with grooves ensures proper oil

control and sealing between the crankcase and

combustion chamber for efficient operation,

long wear life and reduced blow-by.

One Piece Pistons

Inside surfaces feature a uniform cross hatch

pattern for faster ring seating, proper ring

seal, uniform oil distribution, and long life.

Flanges are roll burnished in the radius for

increased strength and resistance to cracking. Heat-treated high-grade gray iron construction

provides exceptional strength and long life.

Controlled flange head thickness guarantees a

precise match with the block and head.

Precise manufacturing tolerances ensure

perfectly round bores for efficient oil control

and proper fit in Cat engine blocks.

Cat Liners

Cat Rings

Fractured Rod Perfectly matched joint surfaces allow rods toaccept higher loads.

Fractured uneven surface helps locate rod end

and cap, eliminating the need for locating

dowel.

Automatic bolt insertion and fastening

equipment ensures cap and rod stay together,

eliminating possibility of mismatched cap and

rod during material handling.

Two Piece Piston Two piece articulted design forreduced piston slap, better combustion

and reduced emissions due to rings

located closer to the top of the piston.

Steel crown for heat resistance, and

higher cylinder pressure. Aluminum skirt for weight reduction.

Chrome

Ceramic Ring

Coating of several layers of hard chromium

for higher scuffing resistance.

A network of tiny micro-cracks on each layer

for better thermal fatique properties.

Ceramic particles embedded into each layer

of chrome improves consistancy propertiesover the entire coating depth.

Normal chromium wear exposes new ceram-

ic particles resulting in less surface crack-

ing/ring flaking, reduced wear of both ring

and cylinder bore, significant life improve-

ment, and better spalling resistance.

Reman Cylinder Packs reduce downtime and costs

Remanufacturing transforms used Cat

components to new parts standards. When you

need repairs, Cat Reman Cylinder Packs will get

you back to work quickly, reliably, and

affordably. Completely remanufactured to

include all critical engineering updates and

design improvements, Cat Reman Cylinder

Packs provide same-as-new performance and

long life.

Strict remanufacturing processes

New articulated piston bushings are installed

using correct installation methods to ensure

retention of bushing in bore.

New liners and rings are installed for exact

fit and smooth operation.

All components are extensively tested

and inspected for conformance to factory

specifications.

Fast, easy installation

Cat Reman Cylinder Packs contain the cylinder

liner, piston, rings, pin, retainers, connecting

rod, and all necessary seals. They comepreassembled and ready for installation as a

unit, reducing your turn-around time.

Plus, our special tooling and repair technique

can save up to an hour per cylinder during

installation, so its possible to complete an

entire in-frame overhaul in one day. No other

engine manufacturer offers this kind of service.

Fully warranted, low-cost repair

options

Cat Reman Cylinder Packs are priced at 45-50%

of the cost of new parts and offer the samefactory-fresh performance. To prove i t,

Caterpillar backs Reman Cylinder Packs

with a same-as-new parts warranty.

Caterpillar randomly tests competitive

parts to determine quality differences.

These comparisons consistently reveal

the following shortcomings about

competitive pistons, rings, and liners.

Competitive pistons Imprecise fit can cause liner scuffing

and piston seizure.

Partially disbonded ring bands andout-of-spec ring grooves can cause

blowby and cylinder damage.

Competitive rings Thin chrome plating can reduce

wear life.

Soft, gray iron construction can

reduce durability and lead to failure.

Competitive liners Lack of heat treating and roll

burnishing can lead to flange cracksand breaks.

Random cross hatch pattern can result

in poor oil control and increased oil

consumption.
