Kolbenschmidt products:

Pistons All original KS Pistons are supplied ready for assembly with the corresponding piston rings, piston pin and retainers already fitted, and are carefully packed as complete sets with the exception of the heavier pistons. For every engine type the most suitable alloy is selected from the KS alloy range, and the most effective piston design is employed. |
|
|
Liners Original KS cylinder liners are ideally adapted and constitute the optimum solution in terms of wear, service life and heat dissipation. The range comprises dry or wet cylinder liners for the engines of all current manufacturers, either made of centrifugal casting, premachined or finish machined, in line with the specific engine types. |
|
Kit Sets The original KS Kit Set, comprising piston, piston rings, piston pins, piston pin retainers and cylinder liners, with seals, if required, has been composed ready for installation. As a replacement part requiring no further work, the Kit Set must be fitted as delivered in the package. Arbitrary exchange of cylinders and pistons may cause trouble in the engine. |

Engine Bearings Plain bearing shells Plain bearing shells are used for both conrod bearings and main bearings. They are mostly designed as thin-walled composite bearing shells. Bearings made of two materials have a steel back onto which the bearing metal, typically aluminium with tin and copper additives, is plated. In the case of bearings made of three materials, the bearing metal is copper with additives of lead and tin cast onto the steel back or applied by the sinter-rolling- sinter method. A nickel dam (diffusion seal) separates the bearing metal and the galvanic sliding layer.Flanged bearing shells Flanged bearing shells are responsible for the axial guidance of the crankshaft in the crank drive bearing system. The flanges of these bearings are ready for assembly and must not be re-machined. Exceptions are clearly marked in the catalogue.Depending on the engine design, one or two flanged bearing shells are installed. |

Piston Ring Sets In general, we differentiate between compression rings, scraper rings and oil control rings. All of them have the primary function of sealing the combustion chamber against the crankcase. The compression rings prevent leakage of combusting gases from the combusting chamber into the crankcase. Scraper rings combine the function of the compression rings and the oil control rings , i.e. they seal combusting gases from the crankcase and additionally they scrape surplus oil off the cylinder wall. The function of the oil control rings is to scrape excessive oil from the cylinder wall and to prevent the passage of lubrication oil to the combusting chamber. |

Valves Intake- and exhaust valves seal the combustion chamber and regulate the charge exchange process. Valves are thermally and mechanically highly stressed parts, which are also exposed to corrosive influences. The mechanical stress is caused by the bending of the valve head under ignition pressure, and by heavy impact during closure (shock load). |
| These stresses can be influenced and controlled by designing the valve appropriate strength and shape. Valves are subjected to intense surface heat from the combustion chamber. When open, during the exhaust stroke, the exhaust valve is also heated by the escaping hot exhaust gases. Valve cooling takes place mainly by heat conduction via the valve seat into the cylinder head. Much less heat is conducted into the head via the valve guides. Intake valves reach temperatures of approx. 300 °C to 550 °C, whereas exhaust valves can get as hot as 1000 °C. | |
|
Valves guides The purpose of the valve guides is to support the side forces operating on the valve stem. The guide also centres the valve on the valve seat and conducts a part of the heat from the valve head via the valve stem to the cylinder head. Due to these extreme loads, the correct choice of material with appropriate characteristics is of critical importance for the product quality. |
|
Valve seat inserts Valve seat rings have been gaining increasing importance ever since cylinder heads made of aluminium were introduced. Together with the valves, they seal the combustion chamber of the cylinder head. The valve seat ring avoids turning/digging in of the valves into the cylinder head. It absorbs part of the heat of combustion, which impinges on the valve. This heat is transmitted to the cylinder head by the valve seat ring. |

Water Pumps The cooling system constitutes a closed circuit. Its function is to safeguard the thermal balance in the engine because it is only at optimum temperatures that the engine finds optimum operating conditions: this will result in a high efficiency and complete combustion which in turn minimizes the impact on the environment.In accordance with the manufacturer specification, a mixture of pure water, antifreeze and corrosion protecting agents will be used as coolant in the system. The boiling point of this mixture is above that of water and allows coolant temperatures of up to 120°C at a gauge pressure of 1.4 bar. The thermostat will control the cooling circuit as a function of the coolant temperature: when the engine is still cold, it remains closed so that the operating temperature is reached as quickly as possible (small cooling circuit); only above a defined temperature level will it open to activate the large cooling circuit via the radiator. The water pump, which is driven through a belt, will deliver the coolant and, after thermostat opening, ensure the uniform and quick transfer of the coolant from the engine to the radiator: there the warm coolant is cooled again - either by the slip stream, if this is sufficient, or by a radiator fan which takes in additional air. |
