Zusammenfassung:In a method for manufacturing a pair of variable-displacement pistons 10, a first and a second piston body 12 are provided that each include a hollow body portion 14 with an open end and a closed end. The closed end is adjoined by an actuator arm 16 monolithically formed with the hollow body portion 14. A monolithic dual piston head is provided that includes a first head piston head and a second piston head extending parallel to each other at an axial distance spanned by a recessed hub. The piston heads are simultaneously friction-welded to the open ends of the first and second piston bodies. The first piston head is separated from the second piston head by removing the recessed hub to form a first variable displacement piston and a second variable displacement piston.
