A wear band carries side load; the seal holds pressure

A guide band sits between the piston or rod and its metal mating surface. It distributes radial contact across its bearing width and helps keep the sealing elements aligned. The pressure seal remains a separate part of the cylinder assembly.

Bronze filler improves the wear and creep behavior of PTFE for loaded sliding contact. The combination suits lubricated hydraulic guides, where contact area, side load and the condition of the mating surface determine the useful bearing arrangement.

Specify the groove before cutting the ring

Width B fills the axial guide groove; thickness T controls the radial fit. A nominal cylinder bore alone does not define the strip size. Measure the guide groove and use the installed position to calculate the required circumference.

Leave the designed end gap for assembly and thermal expansion. A 60° angled end is one available drawing detail; identify the angle reference and gap rather than ordering by angle alone. Keep chips and cut-edge burrs out of the groove.

Give B × T and the total number of metres.
For finished ring blanks, include installed diameter, cut length and end gap.
State the oil, operating temperature, sliding speed and radial load for material selection.

Choose bronze filling for the actual sliding environment

The metal filler changes the chemical and electrical behavior of the compound. Use bronze filled material for a compatible lubricated mechanism; select virgin PTFE separately where an unfilled contact surface or electrical isolation is central to the design.

Replacing a wear band with the same width and thickness is only a geometric match. Check the compound, bearing length, lubrication and expansion gap as part of a cylinder repair, especially when scoring or uneven wear is visible.

Equipment & process duties

Applications

Hydraulic piston guides

Cut ring segments to the piston guide groove and bore, separating the piston from the cylinder wall.

Rod bearing bands

Support radial loading at the rod guide while allowing the rod seal to perform its sealing duty.

Cylinder maintenance

Replace worn guide bands using the measured groove, original compound and installed clearance.

Direct answers

Common Questions

What do the two guide-strip dimensions mean?

They are strip width B and radial thickness T in millimetres. Length, installed ring diameter and end gap are separate ordering dimensions.

Does a bronze filled PTFE guide band seal hydraulic pressure?

Its job is guidance and sliding support. Use a separate pressure seal and size the guide contact area for the radial load.

Can you supply cut guide-ring lengths?

Yes. Provide the strip reference, installed diameter, finished cut length, end gap and cut-end detail. Coil or metre-length supply suits workshops that cut bands during assembly.

Is bronze filled strip interchangeable with white virgin PTFE strip?

The compounds have different wear, creep, chemical and electrical behavior. Choose the material as well as the cross-section; a matching B × T does not establish a functional replacement.
