The Piston Guide Wear Ring is used in hydraulic boom cylinders to help reduce friction and wear within the boom cylinder. Boom cylinders are used in heavy machines to aid the lifting and operation of the boom and stick assemblies of Excavators. The wear ring serves an important function in maintaining the efficiency and longevity of the boom cylinder. It is made of low-friction and durable plastic. It is installed inside the boom cylinder bore and as the piston moves back and forth within the cylinder during steering operations, the wear ring provides a low-friction surface that minimizes contact and abrasion between the piston and cylinder walls.
Attributes:
• Capable of withstanding the temperature and pressure conditions encountered in the hydraulic system
• Excludes contaminants that prevent premature wear of the cylinder's internal components
• Offers excellent resistance to wear, chemicals, and abrasion, ensuring the longevity of the wiper
• Creates a smooth surface against which the piston or rod of the cylinder can slide
• Contributes to smooth and responsive boom movement
• Helps contain and control contamination by preventing the entry of external contaminants into the hydraulic boom cylinder
Applications:
This Piston Guide Wear Ring in hydraulic boom systems is designed to reduce friction, seal the cylinder, and enhance the overall performance and longevity of the boom cylinder. Its role in minimizing wear, maintaining a proper seal, and facilitating smooth operations contributes to the efficient and safe operation of the Excavators.
