PISTON RING (Hyster HY1612510)

HY1612510: A worn retaining ring can allow a piston to shift, leading to loss of compression or mechanical binding. The Hyster catalog reference HY1612510 identifies this part as an aftermarket replacement piston ring. Its primary function is to secure the piston within its bore by fitting into a groove on the piston outer diameter. A common failure consequence is that a broken or missing ring may cause the piston to contact the cylinder wall, resulting in scoring or seizure. During routine disassembly, a technician may find the ring has lost tension or cracked from fatigue. This item ships at approximately 0.011 pounds.
