Improving performance of hydraulic cylinders

Hydraulic applications are challenging for seals. Not only must the hydraulic seals prevent leakage of fluid from the cylinder, but hydraulic seals must also withstand high pressures, extreme temperatures and transverse forces within the cylinder.

Guide Elements for hydraulic cylinders

Guide Elements is the design of hydraulic wear ring or guide ring. The function of a hydraulic wear ring is 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.
