Minimum Length of Piston Skirt Calculator

Length of Piston Skirt - (Measured in Meter) - Length of piston skirt is the total length of a piston skirt used for bearing side thrust.
Diameter of Cylinder Bore - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Cylinder Bore is the internal surface diameter of an engine cylinder.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Diameter of Cylinder Bore: 180 Millimeter --> 0.18 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

l_s = 0.65*D_i --> 0.65*0.18

Evaluating ... ...

l_s = 0.117

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.117 Meter -->117 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

117 Millimeter <-- Length of Piston Skirt

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Length of Piston Skirt given Allowable Bearing Pressure

Go Length of Piston Skirt = Coefficient of Friction for Piston Skirt*pi*Diameter of Cylinder Bore*Maximum Gas Pressure inside Cylinder/(4*Bearing Pressure for Piston Skirt)

Side Thrust on Piston

Go Side thrust on piston = Coefficient of Friction for Piston Skirt*pi*Diameter of Cylinder Bore^2*Maximum Gas Pressure inside Cylinder/4

Length of Piston Skirt given Side Thrust

Go Length of Piston Skirt = Side thrust on piston/(Bearing Pressure for Piston Skirt*Diameter of Cylinder Bore)

Side Thrust on Piston Skirt

Go Side thrust on piston = Bearing Pressure for Piston Skirt*Diameter of Cylinder Bore*Length of Piston Skirt

Total Length of Piston

Go Length of Piston = Width of Top Land+Length of Ring Section of Piston+Length of Piston Skirt

Minimum Length of Piston Skirt

Go Length of Piston Skirt = 0.65*Diameter of Cylinder Bore

Maximum Length of Piston Skirt

Go Length of Piston Skirt = 0.8*Diameter of Cylinder Bore

Maximum Total Length of Piston

Go Length of Piston = 1.5*Diameter of Cylinder Bore

Minimum Length of Piston Skirt Formula

Length of Piston Skirt = 0.65*Diameter of Cylinder Bore
l_s = 0.65*D_i

Trunk Piston

Trunk piston is a term usually given to the pistons in four-stroke medium-speed engines. These pistons have a composite design which comprises of thin sectioned alloy steel piston crown along with an aluminum alloy skirt. These pistons are light, strong, and rigid in construction and are capable of resisting high temperatures and corrosion.
The piston is forged and the space inside is provided for the arrangement of cooling spaces, which is done by cooling oil. The skirt consists of space for a gudgeon pin which transmits power to the connecting rod. The skirt also helps in transferring the side thrust produced by the connecting rod.
