ABSTRACT:
A piston and cylinder assembly and a method for manufacturing the piston assembly. The piston assembly includes a circular integral piston. A glass-filled plastic bearing material is disposed completely annularly about the piston and extends entirely between end faces of the piston. The plastic bearing material provides a bearing surface for sliding engagement with an inner surface of a cylinder of the cylinder assembly. An annular groove extends through the plastic bearing material and into the piston between the end faces. The piston includes a central bore which is concentric with the groove and the outer circumference of the plastic bearing material. The method for manufacturing the piston assembly includes the step of disposing the piston on a positioning pin which extends into the central bore and disposing the piston in an enclosed mold cavity which is defined by a mold. Thereafter, the space between the curved cylindrical surface of the piston and the mold cavity is filled with a fluid plastic bearing material. After the plastic bearing material is allowed to harden, the outer surface of the bearing material is machined relative to the central bore so that the outer surface of the plastic bearing material is concentric with the central bore. The annular groove is subsequently machined through the cylindrical outer surface of the plastic bearing material and into the metal piston for receiving a sealing assembly.
