Australia, and Asia, Wiseco is the world leader in the
manufacturing of hi-performance, forged pistons for the
snowmobile, motorcycle, ATV, personal watercraft, outboard
marine and automotive markets.
Wiseco engineers utilize the latest in 3D design and finite
element modeling software to ensure every Wiseco design is
developed to provide the greatest strength and lightest weight
for each application. Our in-house Dyno facility, equipped with
the latest technology, along with our field-testing network,

4. insure that our products meet theexpectationsof the demanding
motorsports industry.
After nearly 70 years in the business, the name Wiseco has

Industrial Park Boulevard, Ohio. WESICO began its
manufacturing processes in the sprawling 200 acre facility
owned by The Amalgamations Group at Industrial Park
Boulevard, Ohio. The facility is just an hour drive from
Industrial Park Boulevard, Ohio. This facility houses
WESICO's part of Piston Operations, Entire Piston Ring
Machining Operations, Centrifugal Casting and Machining
Facilities and Administrative functions.
Boulevard, Ohio is rapidly growing as a prominent automobile
market in USA. The development and upgradation of excellent
infrastructure for automobile industry and the existence of a
good number of manufacturing plants are aiding the
development of the Indian Automobile Market in Ohio. The
efficiency and quick service of the administrative sector in
Boulevard in assisting the automobile industry in Ohio are
helping the growth of the automobile sector in Ohio. This is
precisely the reason for the growth of the luxury car market and
the heavy automobile sector in Ohio. The other factors
encouraging the growth of the automobile sector in Ohio are its

10. Material Selection Process:-
• A series of tests to characterize friction and wear of
various materials in a simulated ball piston
engine/compressor were performed to aid in selection
of production materials.
• Another goal of the tests was to explore this machine
could run without lubrication.
• If un lubricated operation was not possible, tests with
instrumentation would be used to confirm the
lubricated operation of the machine and the resulting
internal loads.
• Friction at conventional piston rings, piston pin, and
connecting rod/crankshaft bearing are eliminated ).
The rotor/stator bearing is of a gas or fluid hydrostatic
type, so friction is very low at that site
