A handling device for servicing a piston with a small end attached to the piston via a piston pin, having a basic frame, a receiving device that is pivotable or tiltable relative to the basic frame for the piston removed from an internal combustion engine, an actuator for pivoting or tilting the receiving device relative to the basic frame, and a locking device via which the receiving device is lockable on the basic frame in different pivot positions or tilting positions.

A system includes a controller, a pretreating machine, and an additive manufacturing machine. The pretreating machine is coupled to the controller. The pretreating machine includes a pretreater structured to form an interface layer on a component. The additive manufacturing machine is coupled to the controller. The additive manufacturing machine includes a material feed and a forming beam. The material feed is configured to selectively provide a first amount of material on the interface layer. The forming beam is configured to substantially melt the first amount of material, thereby forming a first layer of a first material deposit on the interface layer.

Proposed is a method of manufacturing a hydraulic cylinder rod, the method including the step of deriving an optimal ratio between a metal tube and a composite material round rod when preparing a hybrid round rod by inserting the composite material round rod into the metal tube in order to reduce the weight of an existing metal round rod such as a cylinder rod of a hydraulic cylinder, whereby the hybrid round rod is prepared through the step and then a rod eye is coupled to the hybrid round rod to manufacture the hydraulic cylinder rod.

A rotary pump for a fluid metering system is provided. The rotary pump reciprocates, and is reversed by a signal from a limit switch that is deflected by an actuator arm on a rotating sleeve of the pump system. The rotary pump includes a plunger and optional stopper formed from a two-shot molding process, and including seals overmolded onto the head of the plunger and the head of the optional stopper.

The invention involves the extraction process of a glow plug pencil (23) or a broken pencil (23) which is stuck in a cylinder head (13) housing (11) of a glow plug engine comprising a lower (19) and upper (17) part, so that the upper part (17) forms a shoulder (21) with the lower part (19), the pencil (23) being stuck in the lower part (19). The process is remarkable in that it includes a step (a) for drilling a bore in the pencil (23) according to the longitudinal direction of the latter which is performed with the use of a drill bit (1) comprising a drilling part (5) with flutes (7) and a shank (3) respectively having a diameter smaller and greater than the lower part diameter (19) of the housing (11) so that the shank (3) forms a shoulder (9) with the drilling part (5), and in that step a) for drilling the bore includes the drilling of the pencil (23) until the said shoulder (9) of the drill bit (1) is positioned to a stop against the shoulder (21) of the housing (11).

A remanufactured piston for an internal combustion engine includes a crown and a skirt. A piston body includes a first piston body end within the crown and an opposite second piston body end. The crown further includes an annular crown body having an annular crown body edge. The first piston body end further includes an annular piston body edge. The annular piston body edge and the annular crown body edge form a joint, and a metallurgical bond attaches the annular crown body to the piston body at the joint.

A method for repairing a worn portion in an inner diameter surface of a bore of a cast iron part is disclosed. The inner diameter surface of the bore may have an original surface geometry prior to wear. The method may comprise forming a crescent-shaped pocket in the inner diameter surface of the bore to remove the worn portion, installing an insert in the crescent-shaped pocket, and post-machining the insert to form a crescent-shaped insert that is flush with the original surface geometry of the bore inner surface diameter.
