Fits Between Recip Compressor Parts

The document discusses various parts of a reciprocating compressor and their fits. It describes the following: 1) Crankshaft bearing uses a press fit to prevent slipping and ensure tight contact for assembly/disassembly. 2) Crankshaft and connecting rod shells use a running fit with small clearance to allow free rotation with oil lubrication at high temperatures. 3) Piston and liner use a sliding clearance fit to avoid damage from excessive piston expansion during combustion while allowing free movement.

Fits between different parts of reciprocating compressor

Crankshaft bearing: Press fit onto shaft (-0.0015). ISO fit: H7/k6
Press fit is used to prevent creep, slipping of bearing so as to get tight contact surfaces of both races
and also allow assembly and disassembly.

Crankshaft and connecting rod big end shell bearings: (0.0025 to 0.0046): Running fit with very small
clearance: H7/g6
This fit is used to allow free rotation of rod and crankshaft with oil clearance with great
accommodation for high temp.

Piston and liner: Sliding clearance fit (0.0045 to 0.0065): H7/g6:


It is also called as piston clearance is the clearance or gap between piston and metal cylinder, to avoid
damage due to excessive expansion of piston on getting heated during combustion. It is also known
as piston to bore clearance. ... So proper piston clearance is necessary to maintain
free piston movement in the cylinder. If there's too much clearance, the piston could rock back and
forth inside the cylinder and damage the rings, cylinder walls, or skirts. If the clearance is too tight,
then the piston can seize in the cylinder as it expands due to high temp.

Piston pin and pin bore: Sliding fit: pin held by circlips (0.002): H7/g6
This fit is used because A loose pin in the piston or in the connecting rod, causes a rattle during the
engine operation. If the pin is too tight in the piston, it restricts piston expansion along the pin
diameter which produces piston scuffing.
Liner and housing: Loose clearance fit: : the liner is held in place by cylinder head. This type of fit is used
as to easy assembly of liners and to accommodate high temp.

Shaft seal and housing: Interference fit (press fit): H7/p6:


This fit is used so that the stationary part of seal tightly fits inside the housing bore to avoid the rotation.
The tight fit ensures isolation of atmospheric side and cranckcase side.

Oil Pump assembly and pump end cover: Loose clearance: This is for easy rotation of pump.

Piston pin bush and piston pin: running clearance fit: 0.002 to 0.004: this fit allows free oscillation of
rod and rotation of pin inside bushing. Too lose clearance will result in pin knocking and too tight will
result in improper lubrication.
