Guide Rings for Hydraulic and Pneumatic Applications
Our range includes:
Cut/Split Rings
Easy to install and ideal for less demanding applications.
Solid/Continuous Rings
Provide superior stability and enhanced load-bearing capacity.
Wrapped Rings
Constructed from strips of material wrapped around the piston or rod for added durability.
Composite Rings
Engineered from combined materials for optimized performance and wear resistance.
Materials
PTFE (Teflon)
Low friction, excellent chemical resistance, and suitable for high-speed applications.
Nylon
Good wear resistance and impact strength.
Acetal
High stiffness and dimensional stability.
Bronze-filled PTFE
Enhanced wear resistance and load-bearing capacity.
Applications
Hydraulic Cylinders
In construction equipment, agricultural machinery, industrial presses, and mobile hydraulics.
Pneumatic Cylinders
In automation systems, robotics, packaging equipment, and manufacturing processes.
Telescopic Cylinders
Where multiple stages of the cylinder extend and retract.
Why Use Guide Rings?
Prevent Wear and Scoring
Guide rings prevent direct contact between the piston/rod and the cylinder bore, minimizing wear and scoring, which can lead to leaks and premature failure.
Extend Cylinder Life
By reducing wear, guide rings significantly extend the service life of the cylinder, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
Improve System Performance
Guide rings ensure smooth and stable movement of the piston and rod, improving the overall performance and efficiency of the hydraulic or pneumatic system.
Reduce Friction
They minimize friction between moving parts, contributing to smoother operation and energy efficiency.
Selecting the Right Guide Ring
Cylinder Dimensions
The diameter of the piston rod or piston and the cylinder bore.
Temperature Range
The range of temperatures the ring will be exposed to.
Operating Pressure
The maximum pressure the guide ring needs to withstand.
Fluid Compatibility
The type of fluid or gas the ring will be in contact with.
