Hardcoated Aluminum Wrist Pins

Flow Network Solution


Powered by Specialty Engine Components Aluminum Technology
we are pleased to introduce, our Aluminum Wrist Pin. It offers several advantages over wrist pins made from other more traditional materials.

  • Light weight
  • Inherently clean
  • Highly lubricous
  • Excellent thermal properties
  • Increased efficiency

The need for efficient, durable, and cost effective products, in reciprocating technology, inspired our engineering staff to explore the benefits of alternative materials in piston rod assemblies. SEC Aluminum Wrist Pins have a hard and lubricous electrochemically treated surface.

  • Up to 35% lighter than steel, providing less reciprocating weight.
  • Harder than steel for less wear.
  • Maintains a consistent clearance throughout the temperature range.
  • Exhibits the same thermal expansion rate as the piston.

Aluminum Wrist Pin technology is directly applicable in many industries. It serves the automotive and marine industries, as well as, industrial equipment, refrigeration and air conditioning enterprises. Typical uses include compressors, pumps, and two and four cycle engines.
