Nowadays, due to high demand for more efficient engines, new technologies are coming in order to reduce engine size and pollutants emissions, but on the other hand pushing for additional performance by peak cylinder pressure (PCP) increasing. In this scenario, solutions as engine bearing downsizing, number of cylinder reduction and variable compression rate (VCR) has been provided. One of these new technologies is the bushingless connecting rod pin joint system in which the small end bushing is no longer used and the powercell system is composed by the piston pin assembled directly in the connecting rod small end. To enable this downsize with loads increasing, a technology with special micro-profile and coated for mid-range diesel vehicle application was developed, since there is a technical & cost restrictions of current bushings for upcoming PCP.
