CYLINDER LINER

Abstract:

An annular cylinder liner includes an annular body defining a longitudinal axis, a radial direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, a circumferential direction, a first longitudinal end, a second longitudinal end, and a liner length measured from the first longitudinal end to the second longitudinal end along the longitudinal axis. The annular body also includes a shoulder that is disposed at the first longitudinal end, defining a shoulder axial thickness measured along the longitudinal axis. A ratio of the liner length to the shoulder axial thickness ranges from 24.0 to 46.0.
