MAHLE PISTONS AUSTRALIA
MAHLE Pistons Australia
When it comes to MAHLE Pistons Australia, MAHLE manufactures and offers to the aftermarket high-quality, cast-iron, aluminum, FERROTHERM and MONOTHERM heavy duty pistons.
Many of the MAHLE Clevite aluminum pistons are cast with Ni-Resist groove inserts. These metalurgically-bonded, high-nickel iron inserts extend the life of the piston by reducing groove wear. Ultra-sonic testing assures quality and integrity in the bonding process.
Additional enhancements on aluminum pistons can include: heat plugs for pre-combustion engines, coated skirts for friction reduction and hard anodized piston crowns for better resistance to heat.
As operating conditions have become more severe there are cases where aluminum pistons have reached their operating limits. For these high performance late model applications MAHLE Clevite offers FERROTHERM and MONOTHERM design pistons.
FERROTHERM pistons consist of a durable forged steel crown coupled with a free floating aluminum skirt. These pistons used the MAHLE patented shaker plate design to help cool the piston crown insuring greater survivability.
MONOTHERM pistons are single piece forged steel pistons that eliminate the need for skirt. This simplifies the installation of the piston over the FERROTHERM design and at the same time insures superior endurance and performance offered by the FERROTHERM piston.
For foreign nameplate applications, we offer the same OE quality heavy duty engine parts in the MAHLE Original brand.

MAHLE Pistons Australia - Systems For Commercial Vehicles
The commercial vehicle segment is fundamentally very sensitive to costs. A fleet operator for long-distance hauling bases purchasing decisions on transportation efficiency. Besides the vehicle price, ongoing operating costs play a decisive role, fuel consumption being the most crucial.

Piston systems and their components
Aluminum pistons
Our piston range for commercial vehicle engines includes optimized aluminum pistons for highest demands. The pistons are made of cast, high temperature-resistant aluminum-silicon alloys. These alloys and the fine-tuned casting technology make it possible for MAHLE pistons to ideally combine low weight and high structural rigidity. The products withstand peak cylinder pressures of more than 200 bar. If properly combined with other components, they ensure a service life of more than one million kilometers for commercial vehicles.

Steel pistons
Our steel pistons are necessary to ensure maximum efficiency with the best emission values. As a result, ignition pressures of up to 300 bar are sometimes exerted on the pistons, making high-strength steel designs unavoidable. To date, MAHLE has developed four different steel piston concepts for these applications. In addition to the friction welding concept that is most commonly used today, the MAHLE portfolio also includes laser-welded pistons for minimum compression heights with the best possible cooling and lowest friction losses.

Power Cell Unit (PCU)
1.2 million kilometers and no wear
With the power cell unit— consisting of the piston with rings and pin, cylinder liner, and connecting rod with bearing shells— MAHLE offers a system that brings the customer commercial and logistical advantages due to its simpler assembly and optimally coordinated design.
What does a commercial vehicle Power Cell Unit (PCU) need to achieve over its lifespan?
Service life of 1.6 million kilometers—this is the standard that today’s commercial vehicle engines must meet. That is why MAHLE took a sample and analyzed the PCUs from a randomly selected long-haul truck. The result, after 1.2 million kilometers: almost no wear!
