Gudgeon pins
The high injection and combustion pressures of modern diesel and racing
engines generate very high compressive stresses between the gudgeon pin
and the small connecting rod eye. This can bring the bronze bushing,
normally used as a journal for the gudgeon pin, to its deformation
limit.
Coating the gudgeon pin with BALINIT® replaces the sliding function of
the bushing and renders it redundant. In addition, it permits a
lighter, stiffer connecting rod design. Furthermore, BALINIT®
effectively suppresses scuffing in the bore of the aluminium piston.
