POM Guide Ring: High-Performance Guide Rings by Polypac
POM Guide Ring: Engineered for Precision and Durability
The POM Guide Ring from Polypac is engineered to provide outstanding dimensional stability, low friction, and exceptional wear resistance in hydraulic cylinders and rotary assemblies. Polypac's POM Guide Ring combines the inherent mechanical strength of polyoxymethylene (POM) with exacting manufacturing tolerances to ensure consistent, long-lasting performance under dynamic loading.
Key Features of POM Guide Ring
Key Features of POM Guide Ring include low coefficient of friction, high abrasion resistance, and excellent creep resistance. These features help reduce wear on mating surfaces, extend seal life, and improve system efficiency in both reciprocating and rotating applications.
Materials and Compatibility
Materials and Compatibility: Our POM Guide Ring is compatible with a wide range of seal materials including PTFE, NBR, FKM, EPDM, and FFKM, enabling seamless integration into existing sealing systems. POM's chemical resistance and dimensional stability make it suitable for hydraulic fluids, oils, and many industrial environments.
Manufacturing Quality and Testing
Manufacturing Quality and Testing: Polypac's factory spans over 10,000 square meters with 8,000 square meters of production space and industry-leading testing equipment. Each POM Guide Ring undergoes rigorous inspection and mechanical testing to meet tight tolerances and ensure reliable field performance.
Typical Applications
Typical Applications for the POM Guide Ring include hydraulic cylinders, piston guides, rod guides, and rotary equipment. The POM Guide Ring excels in high-speed, high-load, and precision-guided systems where reduced friction and stable guidance are critical.
Customization and Technical Support
Customization and Technical Support: Polypac offers tailored POM Guide Ring solutions for special working conditions, leveraging long-term partnerships with universities and research institutes to develop optimized geometries and composite options.

How can I prevent seal damage during installation?
Use Tools: Always use dedicated installation tools (e.g., picks, cones, guides). Lubricate: Always lubricate the seal and the contact surface. Protect Sharp Edges: Cover sharp threads and edges with tape or use an installation sleeve. Check the Groove: Ensure the installation groove is clean, deburred, and undamaged.
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.
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.
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.
