Supporting shorter development periods for engines with a comprehensive product development system.

Technical Centre

TPR's Technical Center was established in 2004 as a hub of technology development for achieving R&D advances to meet future needs.

Experiment / Analysis

TPR maintains the Engine Laboratory to evaluate piston ring performance. Using this laboratory for product development and performance analysis, TPR has earned the solid trust of auto makers.

Since reducing friction loss around the piston is a top demand, there has been a tendency for rings to be narrower in width and lower in tension. In this case, an increase in oil consumption becomes an issue. With a transparent glass cylinder, the mechanism can be analyzed.

TPR carries out CAE analysis as a tool to support product development and a variety of performance simulations, including structural analysis, thermal analysis, and behavior analysis.
