Piston Assemblies

Description

We manufacture the highest quality, tightest tolerance pistons and piston assemblies available.

In fabricating our piston assemblies, we assemble a ceramic, sapphire or ruby piston into a custom ferrule — usually high-quality stainless steel. Because we hold the outer diameter of the piston and the inner diameter of the ferrule to such tight tolerances, we use our proprietary “press fit” or “heat set” techniques to assemble the piston into the ferrule. This is a major benefit over competing products because we use no adhesives to assemble the sapphire (or ruby or ceramic) piston rod into the ferrule.
