Why conventional manufacturers always come with a catch

A new development project is on the horizon and the OEM specifications are clearly defined. But this is often where the problems begin:

Many manufacturers only offer pistons in a complete package with series production. But what if you only need development to start? Or a quick prototype to validate your concept? 

Standard suppliers usually need 8 to 12 weeks: far too long if your project has to reach key milestones in just a few weeks.

What's more: A piston must not be viewed in isolation. It is the heart of the engine and only in conjunction with the cylinder, pin and rings can the performance that your OEM demands be achieved. If the manufacturer lacks the technical understanding here, your entire development will falter, with serious consequences:

Subsequent developments and additional test bench validations drive up your production costs.

Your market launch is delayed, while your competitors have long since passed you by. 

A piston that cannot withstand thermal or mechanical stress not only damages the engine, but also your reputation.

In short: Without the right development partner for thermodynamic components, your ambitious engine project could quickly engine project quickly faces a dangerous bottleneck that costs time, money and market opportunities

If the manufacturer lacks the technical understanding here, your entire development will falter, with serious consequences. Not so with us.

In short: Without the right development partner for thermodynamic components, your ambitious engine project could quickly face a dangerous bottleneck that costs time, money and market opportunities.

Imagine there was a provider who...

…enabled you to decide how many steps you need: just development, production or delivery or all three combined

…understood your OEM requirements down to the last detail and designed the piston exactly as your project required.

...delivered a 3D model, the first prototype or even the finished component in half the time it would take other manufacturers.

...provided service to you wherever you were. Global and independent, yet close enough to assist you in every phase of development.

With Wössner Technology you get the right piston in record time

As a developer, producer, consultant and supplier, we are the experts when it comes to pistons for combustion engines. 
Our approach: You determine the scope of the collaboration, from the individual development step through to series delivery.

You receive a resilient 3D model including simulation and FEM calculation.

Development only

You receive a durable 3D model including simulation and FEM calculation.

We deliver a functional prototype for your testing within 4 weeks, which is usually twice as fast as conventional manufacturers.

Development plus prototype

We deliver a functional prototype for your testing within 4 weeks, which is usually twice as fast as conventional manufacturers.

On request, we can accompany your validation through to series production, including practical tests on test benches.

Why this approach works:

You don't waste time with rigid processes, but decide for yourself which steps you need.

There is no risk of exploding costs because development, prototypes and series production can be booked on a modular basis.

With more than 46 years of experience in the industry, we know the piston — the header of the engine — inside and out.

Thanks to our global network, we have locations in Europe, the USA and Asia, guaranteeing short transportation routes, fast response times and reliable supply chains.

There is no risk of exploding costs because development, prototypes and series production can be booked on a modular basis.

For you as an engine manufacturer, this means a partner who understands your requirements, solves technical challenges and drives your projects forward at the speed that OEMs expect from you.

💡 By the way, In addition to pistons, we also develop, produce and supply other thermodynamic components for your engines.

Work with us

Our work consists of 4 steps. You decide how many steps you want to take with us.

Step 1

Development and simulation

You tell us the key parameters of your project, such as the weight, diameter, temperature load or maximum speed. Our engineers develop the piston, create 3D models and carry out FEM calculations based on this. This allows us to determine at an early stage whether the piston will withstand the subsequent loads and avoid unnecessary iteration loops.

Step 2

Prototype construction

We produce the first prototypes from the tested models within 4 weeks*. These can be tested on your test bench or in our test environment. This shows whether the weight, material behavior and thermal load capacity are suitable in practice.

Step 3

Series maturity and validation

After the successful prototype phase, we assist in the validation: from the engine test bench to sample production and road tests with pre-series vehicles. The piston is tested under real operating conditions to ensure maximum reliability and durability.

Step 4

Delivery and support

As soon as all tests have been passed, we can also take over series production on request. Thanks to our international network and locations worldwide, we deliver wherever you produce. At the same time, you always have a fixed contact person who knows and supports your project.

The first step is simple: let us know what you need.

Your next step

The first step is simple: let us know what you need.

A technician from our team will get back to you within 48 hours to discuss the next steps.

You will quickly receive a clear assessment of how we can support your project. No long waiting times, no obligations and directly with an expert.
