Hydraulic Guide Rings & Wear Strips

Hydraulic guide rings and wear strips are non-metallic bearing elements that centre rods and pistons inside cylinders. They carry transverse loads, prevent metal contact and protect sliding surfaces from scoring. Rings arrive cut to size, while strip material can be trimmed for larger or unusual diameters.

Questions about hydraulic guide rings & wear strips

What should I send to identify hydraulic guide rings & wear strips?

Send rod or bore diameter, groove diameter, groove width, radial thickness, ring or strip format. Indicate whether the guide runs on the rod or bore and provide the required cut style and fitted gap. A clear photograph, drawing or readable reference can resolve details that dimensions alone do not show.

How should I select hydraulic guide rings & wear strips?

Select material and section from side load, sliding speed, lubrication, temperature, mating surface and allowable bearing stress. Confirm the mating parts and operating environment before ordering, since an apparently similar size can use a different profile, material or internal arrangement.
