Wear rings guide pistons and piston rods in a hydraulic cylinder, minimizing transverse forces and preventing metal-to-metal contact. Use of wear rings reduces friction and optimizes the performance of piston and rod seals. We supply standard and metric wear ring material used to manufacture wear rings to meet your application requirements.

Wear rings, aka guide rings, bearing rings etc; distribute load evenly and avoid metal to metal contact in hydraulic and pneumatic systems.

Guide rings and guide strips, In hydraulic cylinders the most commonly used guides are guide rings and guide strips. They accommodate radial loads of forces acting on the cylinder assembly and guide the rod in the cylinder head as well as the piston in the cylinder bore ( fig. 1 ).

Macrotech Polyseal Wear Guides replace metallicbearings in hydraulic cylinders and otherapplications providing a contact surface forreciprocating cylinder rods and pistons - reducingthe cost of the metal components. When wearguides are used, metal components can beproduced from low cost materials that may not besuitable for bearing service. Sin

The function of the wear ring is to help keep the piston centered, which allows for even wear and pressure distribution on the seals. Popular wear ring materials include KasPex™ PEEK, glass filled nylon, bronze reinforced PTFE, glass reinforced PTF, and phenolic. Wear rings are used in both piston and rod applications. Wear rings are

Wear rings should always be installed on the lubrication (wet) side of the seal for best performance. For rod glands, the wear ring should be on the pressure side of the rod seal. For pistons, if only one bearing is to be used, it should be on the side of the piston opposite the rod.

The guide ring or wear ring guides a hydraulic cylinder piston and rod and absorbs lateral forces. Metal to metal contact between the moving parts of the 

The wide range of available PTFE blends gives these machined wear rings versatility to accommodate any pneumatic or light-duty hydraulic application requiring low friction and high-temperature capabilities. Technical Data. Standard Material: 0401 – 40% Bronze-Filled PTFE. 0307 – 23% Carbon, 2% Graphite-Filled PTFE.

Enter: Hydraulic Wear Rings. The use of internal guiding components or “wear rings” can dramatically reduce the impact of radial load, especially in horizontal and long-stroke applications. These rings can ensure that sliding components of the cylinders are properly supported against radial loads and move properly guided in a longitudinal
