Product Description

Polypac Cylinder Guide Ring — Reliable Guidance for Hydraulic Cylinders

Polypac Cylinder Guide Rings are engineered to keep piston and rod movement smooth, stable and wear-free. Designed for hydraulic cylinders in industrial, mobile and offshore equipment, these guide rings reduce metal-to-metal contact, prevent scoring and extend seal life. Built from advanced materials and produced with strict quality control, they perform reliably in both standard and harsh environments.

Why choose Polypac Guide Rings?

Polypac combines decades of sealing expertise and modern manufacturing to deliver guide rings that stand out:

  • Low friction: Filled PTFE and engineered polymers lower stick-slip and improve efficiency.
  • High wear resistance: Bronze-, carbon- or glass-filled compounds resist abrasion and retain shape under load.
  • Dimensional stability: Precise molding ensures tight tolerances and consistent guidance.
  • Custom solutions: We tailor designs and materials for special working conditions.

Materials and applications

Our experience began with filled PTFE formulations, and today we offer guide rings in a broad range of materials for optimal performance:

  • Bronze-filled, carbon-filled, graphite-filled, MoS2-filled and glass-filled PTFE for high wear and low friction.
  • Elastomer-backed options for improved damping and assembly fit.
    Applications include hydraulic cylinders for construction machinery, presses, agriculture, material handling and marine equipment.

Manufacturing strength and quality assurance

Polypac’s custom rubber ring and O-ring factory spans over 10,000 m2 with 8,000 m2 of production space and advanced testing equipment. Founded in 2008, we have grown into one of China’s largest seal developers, collaborating with universities and research centers to refine materials and processes. Every guide ring undergoes dimensional, hardness and wear testing to meet demanding performance standards.

Benefits at a glance

Question you may concern

Why did my O-ring fail prematurely?
Common causes of O-ring failure include: Chemical Incompatibility: Swelling, softening, or cracking due to fluid exposure. Improper Sizing: Using an incorrect size leads to over-compression or inadequate sealing force. Abrasion: Wear and tear from rough surface finishes or contaminated fluid. Extrusion: The seal is forced into the gap between metal parts under high pressure. Installation Damage: Nicks, cuts, or twists during assembly.
What does "AS568" mean?
AS568 is the Aerospace Standard that defines the dimensions for over 360 standard O-ring sizes. It is the most widely accepted sizing system in North America and globally. An AS568 number (e.g., AS568-214) specifies a precise inside diameter and cross-section.
When should I use a spring-energized seal instead of a standard elastomeric seal?
Consider a spring-energized seal (e.g., GSF, SPN types) for demanding applications involving: Extreme Temperatures (below -30°C or above +200°C) Aggressive Chemicals that elastomers can't handle Very Low Leakage or "Zero Leakage" requirements Poor Lubricity or dry running conditions The internal spring maintains constant sealing force, compensating for wear and system variables.
How do I choose the right material for my sealing application?
Material selection depends on four key factors: Media: What fluid or gas will the seal contact? (e.g., petroleum oil, water, chemicals, steam) Temperature: What is the minimum and maximum operating temperature? Pressure: What is the system's operating pressure? Are there pressure spikes? Application: Is it a static, dynamic, or rotary seal? Example: NBR (Buna-N) is excellent for standard hydraulic oil, while FKM (Viton®) is needed for high temperatures or aggressive chemicals.
