Abstract

A device and method are provided for forging sleeve-shaped parts such as pistons. The device includes a form with: an upper form mandrel (C); an outer form ring (A); a lower form mandrel (B); an ejector device with an upper ejector (G) for ejection through the upper form mandrel (C); a lower ejector (H) for ejection through the lower form mandrel (B). Optional support devices for the form include a lower reinforcement ring (D) for the lower region of the outer form ring (A), a form mandrel housing (F) for the upper region of the outer form ring (A), and a clamping base (E) to support the lower form mandrel (B), by means of which the lower ejector (H) may be operated. The device and method advantageously facilitates the manufacture of pistons having a long skirt length and a minimal wall thickness.
