Guide Rings

A guide ring, also known as a guiding ring, guide band or wear ring, is used in hydraulic and pneumatic systems to support and guide the piston and rod. The guide ring prevents metal-to-metal contact between moving parts and absorbs lateral forces (side loads). This significantly reduces wear on seals and components, ensuring a stable and durable system. Techniparts supplies guide rings of any brand and size, available in both metric and inch versions, with fast delivery or a suitable alternative when a product is not in stock.

Materials

PTFE (Teflon), Bronze-graphite filled PTFE, POM, Fabric, Phenolic, UHMW-PE, Celeron, Ferrozel, Novotext, Tufnol

Applications

Piston and rod guidance in hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic cylinders, pumps, shafts made of steel, hard chrome or stainless steel, and applications with ceramic coatings.
