The Cylinder Head Gasket

Picture
      The cylinder head gasket plays a key role in the further development of engine technology, particularly in high-performance diesel and gasoline engines with direct injection—the technologies of the future. Besides sealing off the combustion chamber, the coolant areas, and the oil passages, the cylinder head gasket is taking on increasingly important tasks in modern engines. It serves as a load transmission element between the cylinder head and crankcase, and has a significant influence on the distribution of forces within the entire tension system and the resulting elastic deformations of the components.

Growing demands to reduce consumption and emissions lead to weight-optimized engine designs and, particularly for diesel engines, to higher ignition pressures. The use of light metals and reduced casting wall thicknesses entail a further reduction in component stiffness. In order to further reduce cylinder distortions, which are detrimental to exhaust gas behavior, a reduction in bolt forces is targeted.
To ensure a reliable sealing system, sufficient surface pressure must be available for static flat gaskets in all operating conditions. In the designing process, many factors must be taken into consideration: operating media, fluctuations in temperature and operating pressure, design elements (e.g. bolts and sealing surfaces), the position of the gasket in the system and also the long-term performance of the gasket material.

Dynamic gaskets complete the Elring product range. Here you can find oil seals and valve stem seals in the most various of designs, materials and sizes for engines, transmissions and axles – needless to say, of tested quality.
