Compressor Crosshead Parts
for Clients Nationwide

A vital part of a compressor, the crosshead is a block or bar between the piston and the connecting rod of an engine. Crossheads protect the piston and cylinder from damage by preventing the piston from moving sideways. They allow the connecting rod to move freely outside the cylinder, preventing it from hitting the cylinder walls. This enables the engine to keep rotating.

Crossheads are available in a range of shapes and can be made from iron or bronze. Eliminate sideways force on the piston of your reciprocating engine or compressor with high-quality crossheads from Patriot Compressor Parts LLC.
