Menon Pistons Limited

Engine alloy pistons

The company specialises in the manufacture of the wide range of pistons for Cummins KV series engines with the following special features:

• Double ring carrier (dual ni-resist) to reduce the wear in the first and second grooves of the piston and increase the piston life
• Hard anodising on the crown (protection at higher temperatures is achieved through hard anodising on the combustion bowl and crown surface)
• Oval bore in pin hole (pin bore is given an oval to allow refluxing for gudgeon pin during the power stroke)
• Skirt phosphated and graphite coated
• Slipper design for effective oil drain
