Given research is part and continuation of EU Project HORIZON 2020 and HORIZON Europe.The thermodynamic basis and conditions of the real working process of the piston compressors with a double-acting cylinder have considered and substantiated the gas pressure acting on the piston group and the analytical methods for determining these forces are presented. The stress and deformations are analyzed for the piston group made of steel material or special cast iron by applying pressure on it in structural analysis in this article. Structural analysis was performed in ANSYS software. An analysis of static stress and damages due to the application of pressure is presented and analyzed in this work. By observing the analysis results, we can decide whether our designed piston is safe or not under applied load conditions. Investigation of complex problems with respect to friction and wear (clearances), stresses and strains phenomena in piston machines gives the opportunity to solve the problems of increasing the durability of these machines. The results of the investigation can be useful for the design and exploitation of piston machines used in the oil and gas industry.
