To investigate free floating piston pin behavior in a heavy duty diesel engine, an unused piston-pin-rod joint was instrumented. Combining telemetry systems with inductively powered transducers, piston pin subsurface temperature and pin rotation with respect to the piston were measured over a 30 minute steady state engine test.
