Engineered for demanding hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder applications, this Nylon Scarf Cut Wear Ring provides precise radial guidance and lateral load support for pistons and rods. The scarf (angled) cut design allows for easy installation without disassembling the entire cylinder assembly — simply flex the ring open and snap it into the groove.
Key Features
Scarf cut design — enables tool-free installation into closed grooves without full cylinder teardown
Nylon (PA) construction — excellent compressive strength, low friction coefficient, and resistance to wear and extrusion
Radial load bearing — prevents metal-to-metal contact between piston/rod and cylinder bore, extending seal and component life
Chemical resistance — compatible with hydraulic oils, water-glycol fluids, and most industrial lubricants
Dimensional precision — machined to tight tolerances for consistent fit across standard bore and rod sizes
Typical Applications
Hydraulic cylinders (piston and rod guidance)
Pneumatic actuators
Mobile hydraulics and heavy equipment
Industrial machinery and press equipment
