PTFE Bronze Guide Strip
The PTFE bronze guide strip is to guide a rod or piston to avoid metal on metal contact in dry or lubricated applications. A gap should intentionally be calculated in the cut length to allow fluid flow to and from the seal gland and prevent pressure trap or hydrolock between the seal and wear ring.
BENEFITS
• Low friction
• Improves concentricity
• Prevent large extrusion gaps that cause seal failure
• Prevent galling
• Prevent squealing, typically with Nylon bearings in certain applications
APPLICATIONS
• Shocks and Struts
• Mobile Hydraulic Cylinders
• Pneumatic Piston Cylinders
• Agriculture Equipment
• Hydraulic Valves and Pumps
• Filling Machines
• Testing Machinery
