Piston pins are an integral part of all types of internal combustion engines, otto or diesel types, 2 strokes and 4 types. Gudgeon pin is a component to fasten the piston and the connecting rod severally and securely, but at the same time permitting enough play for the free angular movement of the connecting rod according to the requirements of kinematics of the engine assembly.

Piston pins are very essential for the carefree running of the engine and it depends upon the quality of the piston pins whether an engine will live upto its designed life period of operation. The power generated by the combustion of inflamed gases is harnessed by the piston and transmitted further to the crankshaft via piston rod, in which the piston pin plays a pivotal role.

Most of the piston pins are hollow cylinders made out of special alloy steels having highly polished and hard outer surface to bear the wear and tear due to the to and fro motion of the piston shaft.Gudgeon pins are used in scooters, motorcycles, mopeds, cars, lorries, trucks, locomotives, tractors, marine engines, refrigeration compressors etc.

Piston pins are also used for overhauling of old engines. Every time overhauling of an engine is done it is advisable to change the piston pin set so that such a vital part is not set out to an uncalculated risk of breaking while the engine is running.
