Hydraulic wear rings, also known as guide rings or bearing rings, are critical components used in hydraulic cylinders. They serve several key functions, from alignment of the piston and rod to load distribution and prevention of metal-to-metal contact. We understand that manufacturers rely on the quality of wear rings in their operations, including construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and the automotive industry. That’s why NCS delivers wear rings that enhance the longevity of your equipment, operate smoothly and reliably, and perform efficiently.
A hydraulic ring also known as a wear band or guide, is used to guide the piston and piston rod of a hydraulic cylinder, absorbing transverse forces. At the same time, it prevents metal-to-metal contact, optimizing the performance of the sealing system.
Hydraulic wear rings are typically made from a variety of materials chosen for their specific properties, such as wear resistance, low friction, and the ability to operate under high pressures and temperatures. Common materials include PTFE-based materials, nylon, polyoxymethylene, polyurethane, and bronze. Each of these materials has specific advantages, and the choice depends on the application’s requirements, such as the load, speed, operating environment, and compatibility with hydraulic fluids.
