Machined Wear Rings

Product Overview

The design intent of a Bearing Strip or Wear Ring is to guide the piston and/or rod into a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder. Any potential side or transverse loads applied to the piston rod will be supported by the Wear Ring, thus preventing contact between the static and sliding parts of the cylinder.

Eriks Wear Rings are non-metallic and offer advantages over traditional metallic bearings. These benefits include improved load distribution, reduced friction, easy installation and lower abrasion.
Different types of materials are available depending upon the application requirements. PTFE based Wear Rings are for use in low to medium loads, fabric composite Wear Rings are to be used under high load conditions.

ERIKS Wear Rings are precision machined to mate with the customers hardware and are available in a range of sizes, as defined by the below part numbering system.
