Piston rings are designed to seal the gap between the piston and the cylinder wall. For this reason the surface properties of the sealing surfaces are critical to proper seal performance. For robust areas of application mainly for the supply of replacement parts for existing installations. While it seems simple and static in its function the ring takes a dynamic role in.

Also known as loaded lip seals and polypaks an o ring secures these u cups to the rod or piston for better sealing performance at lower pressures than unsupported u cup seals. If this gap were too small thermal expansion of the piston could mean the piston seizes in the cylinder causing serious damage to the engine.
