465-8677: 285mm Outer Diameter Plastic Wear Ring

A Wear Ring, also known as a Guide Ring, is designed to guide the piston and piston rod of a hydraulic cylinder, absorbing transverse or radial forces. This helps to prevent metal-to-metal contact between the moving parts of the cylinder, such as between the piston and the cylinder or the rod and the cylinder head. They protect the Sealing System from excessive loads and radial mechanical forces and deformations. Attributes: • Machined precisely to the correct dimensions and tolerances to give improved durability • Prevent metal-to-metal contact and consequent seizing, which lead to premature wear and tear to the cylinder Applications: A Wear Ring is used to distribute the load evenly across the seal, reducing the risk of seal failure.
