Polypac Hydraulic Wear Ring — Durable, Precision-Guided Solutions

Hydraulic Wear Ring — High-Performance Guidance and Protection

Overview & Benefits

Polypac Hydraulic Wear Ring products provide crucial radial guidance and wear protection for hydraulic pistons and rods. By minimizing metal-to-metal contact and controlling piston side-loads, our wear rings reduce friction, prevent scoring, and extend the life of seals and cylinders. Designed for performance, they improve system reliability and lower maintenance costs across mobile, industrial, and offshore applications.

Materials & Precision Manufacturing

Manufactured using advanced polymers and filled PTFE composites—bronze-, carbon-, graphite-, MoS2- and glass-filled PTFE—Polypac Hydraulic Wear Rings combine low friction with excellent wear resistance. Our factory spans over 10,000 m² with 8,000 m² of production space and state-of-the-art equipment to deliver tight tolerance rings for demanding hydraulic systems. We also produce O-rings in NBR, FKM, silicone, EPDM and FFKM to complement wear ring assemblies.

Performance & Testing

Every Hydraulic Wear Ring is validated through rigorous testing protocols to ensure dimensional stability, wear life and chemical compatibility. Polypac’s in-house labs and partnerships with leading universities enable accelerated wear testing, thermal cycling and tribological assessment—ensuring rings perform reliably in high-pressure, high-speed and contaminated environments.

Customization for Special Conditions

Polypac specializes in tailored solutions: custom sizes, optimized profiles and material blends for high-temperature, abrasive or corrosive conditions. Our engineering team collaborates closely with clients to adapt clearance, surface finish and compound selection so each Hydraulic Wear Ring meets specific operational demands.

Applications & Industries

Commonly used in construction equipment, hydraulic presses, marine actuators and heavy machinery, Hydraulic Wear Rings from Polypac are ideal where precision guidance and seal protection are critical. They are especially valuable in systems requiring long maintenance intervals and high uptime.

FAQ:
What is the difference between NBR and FKM materials?

NBR (Nitrile/Buna-N): A general-purpose, cost-effective material with excellent resistance to petroleum-based oils and fuels. It has a standard temperature range of -30°C to +100°C (-22°F to +212°F). FKM (Fluoroelastomer/Viton®): A premium material with excellent resistance to high temperatures (up to 200°C+), chemicals, and oils. It is used in more severe environments but is more expensive than NBR.

How important is surface finish on the metal parts that contact the seal?

Extremely important. A rough surface will abrade and wear out the seal quickly, causing leaks. A finish that is too smooth can prevent a lubricating film from forming. A typical recommended surface finish for dynamic applications is 0.2 to 0.8 μm (8-32 μin) Ra.

What is the purpose of the metal spring in a rotary shaft seal?

The garter spring in a shaft seal (e.g., FSKR, SPGO types) provides a constant radial force on the sealing lip. This ensures consistent contact with the rotating shaft, compensating for minor wear, eccentricity, and vibration to prevent lubricant leakage.

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.
