www.TotalSeal.com Total Seal Piston Rings totalsealpistonrings Total Seal ® is the world leader in Piston Ring Technology. The performance potential of any piston is completely reliant on the rings surrounding it. That’s why Total Seal ® excels in manufacturing the most precise, lightest, strongest, and innovative selection of piston rings available. Total Seal ® Piston Rings can make a big improvement in drone engines that goes a long way. Gas-Ported Piston Rings – Specially designed horizontal slots allow combustion gas to enter and gas-load the ring from behind, pushing it outward against the cylinder wall for greatly increased ring seal efficiency. Because the piston ring is always rotating, the gas ports in the ring are self cleaning, which results in longer lasting ring seal. Total Conform ™ Piston Rings – Exclusive radial notch technology minimizes stress and maximizes bore conformability. Features less friction, less tension, lower mass and increased efficiency. Gapless ® Piston Rings – Power and efficiency that doesn’t fade with opening end gaps. Provides better sealing, less friction, improved consistency and longer engine life. Greater Efficiency and Fuel Economy = Longer Flight Time and Distance To find out how Total Seal ® Piston Rings can improve your engines, contact Lake Speed, Jr., VP of Sales & Marketing: Phone: 1-800-874-2753 • Cell: 1-704-239-4401 • Email: [email protected] TotalSeal_UnmannedTech_AD-2021.indd 1 1/29/21 1:39 PM Designed and Manufactured in the USA Phone: 410-732-3500 Email: [email protected] WWW.SULLIVANUV.COM Standard designs range from 100 W to over 10kW Custom systems in as little as 10 weeks SullivanUV is now Acutronic Power Systems, part of the Acutronic Group.
