MECHANICAL [SKYACTIV-G 2.5T]


id0110q8000100


Outline

•  The following have been adopted to the SKYACTIV-G 2.5T to reduce sliding resistance *1.
―  Rocker arm (built in needle roller bearing)
―  Reducing the valve spring load
―  Narrowing down the crankshaft journal
―  Optimizing the piston skirt shape
―  Low-tension piston ring
―  Lowered tensioning of the drive belt
•  HLA has been adopted to achieve a maintenance-free design for valve clearance.
•  A piston cavity has been adopted to reduce cooling loss.
•  A variable valve timing mechanism has been adopted on both the intake side and the exhaust side to reduce pumping loss*2.
•  The rigidity and shape of the related parts have been optimized to stabilize the timing chain behavior and reduce sliding resistance.
*1  :Resistance (friction force) which occurs when two object slide against each other. The larger the sliding resistance, the greater the energy loss.
*2  :Energy loss which occurs from each type of resistance corresponding to intake and exhaust is called pumping loss.
