piston and rider rings 活塞环和支撑环 Why are some piston rings one piece and some multipiece? 为什么有些活塞环是单片式结构，而有些是多片式结构？ The main reason for selecting either a single or multipiece piston ring design is the flexibility of the material that the piston ring is being manufactured from, some materials, both metallic and non-metallic are not flexible at all and when rings are produced from these, two or three piece designs are necessary. Consideration also has to be given to the size (cylinder diameter) and axial and radial dimensions of the rings because even with flexible materials, small piston rings can be difficult to expand over the piston diameter. 无论是选择单片式活塞环还是选择多片式活塞环，其主要原因是为了适应制造活塞环的材料。一些材 料既有金属的特性又有非金属的特性，它们根本没有柔韧性。当活塞环用这些材料制造，必须使用两 片或三片式的设计。此外，汽缸直径、活塞环的径向和轴向尺寸同样需要考虑。因为，对于小的活塞 环，即使使用了柔韧性很好的材料，其张开后的尺寸也很难超过活塞直径。 Do piston ring gaps need to be checked and corrected on site prior to installation into the compressor? 在安装活塞环之前，需不需要测量和校正活塞环的切口间隙？ All piston rings produced by LEAH are manufactured with the correct end gap to suit cylinder diameter and operating conditions that the ring is going to be used in. LEAH提供的所有活塞环在制造的时候，已经选择了恰当的切口间隙来符合气缸直径和运行参数的要 求，因此它可以立刻装在压缩机上使用。 Can I check piston ring gaps by placing the piston ring in the cylinder? 能不能把活塞环安装到气缸中后再检查它的切口间隙？ Not without a great deal of difficulty. When piston rings are installed into a cylinder without gas loading it is very difficult to ensure that the O.D. of the ring contacts the cylinder all the way around and that the ring is exactly perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder. Also the temperature on site is often different from the controlled conditions in LEAH’s manufacturing facilities. The only accurate way of checking piston ring gaps is to lay the ring flat on a surface plate and to set the ring to cylinder diameter. This must be done at the same temperature that the ring was manufactured using a p
