Guide Rings

Guide Rings

Guide Rings / Wear rings are used to help keep the piston centred, which allows for even wear and pressure distribution on the seals. These seals are used in both piston and rod applications.

Hydraulic Guide Rings

The primary function of hydraulic wear rings is to guide the piston or rod within the hydraulic cylinder, ensuring proper alignment and preventing excessive movement or deflection. They help to maintain precise positioning and stability of the moving parts during operation.

Guide rings are usually made from materials such as PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) or other low-friction plastics. These materials offer excellent wear resistance, low friction coefficients, and high resistance to temperature and chemical degradation.
