Abstract: A piston for an internal combustion engine may include a ring belt, a groove, and an additional groove. The ring belt may extend along an axial direction. The groove may be arranged on the outer circumference of the ring belt and may be configured to receive an oil scraper ring. The additional groove may be arranged on the outer circumference spaced apart from the groove with respect to the axial direction. The additional groove may include a first groove side axially facing away from the groove and a second groove side axially facing the groove. The first groove side may include an axial step.

Abstract: A piston for an internal combustion engine is formed from an upper part connected to a lower part. The upper part has a combustion bowl, a top land, and a ring belt extending circumferentially around the piston upper part. The lower part contains pin bosses and a piston skirt. A circumferential cooling channel is formed by joining the upper and lower parts. There is an oil inlet formed in one piece with the piston lower part. The inlet has a lower extremity and an upper extremity that terminates at the floor of the cooling channel. A bore extends through the oil inlet from the lower extremity up though the floor of the cooling channel. The circumference of the bore increases from the upper extremity to the lower extremity, so the oil inlet forms a funnel shape.
