Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8000671A1] A method and apparatus for grinding a split piston ring (10) having at least one inwardly converging top or bottom wall member (16, 18) by bringing such wall into engagement with a rotating grinding member (45) having a spherical segment working surface (45a), the path of relative movement being along a line which is coincident with the axis (10a) of the piston ring (10) and also coincident with a radius of the spherical surface (45a) of the grinding member (45), whereby all of the inwardly converging surface (16, 18) of the split piston ring (10) is concurrently ground to conform to the curvature of the spherical segment surface (45a) of the grinding member (45).
