GUIDE RING PROFILES
Piston & Rod Designs
Standard wear ring designed to eliminate metal-to-metal contact.
Piston & Rod Designs
- Groove of wear ring snaps into piston or rod gland
- Retrofits wear rings of similar design
- Reduces metal damage during handling
Piston & Rod Designs
- T-shaped wear ring snaps into piston or rod gland
- Retrofits wear rings of similar design
- Reduces metal damage during handling
Piston & Rod Designs
- P-shaped wear ring snaps into piston or rod gland
- Retrofits wear rings of similar design
- Reduces metal damage during handling
Positive actuated wear rings also acts as back-up rings

SPLIT TYPES
Easiest cut style to install
Improves bearing stress at the gap.
Step cut will always assure that there is material available to act as a bearing.
STYLES
Precision guides rings are machined rather than molded so they offer much tighter tolerances than molded wear guides. The bearing surface is designed to fit either rod or piston applications.
Common Materials: Composites, Glass-filled Nylon, bronze-filled PTFE, Acetal, UHMWP, or PEEK
Wear strips are designed to perform the same function as a wear ring. They are supplied in continuous rolls that allow the product to be installed economically in both new assemblies and repair operations.
Common Materials: Composites &
Bronzed filled PTFE
Molded glass filled nylon wear rings are designed for reciprocating piston and rod bearing applications.
Split Type: Butt cut
