847 Series: Guide Band – Split 45° – TC

The 847 Piston Series Guide Band is made from MTC1, a thermoset polyester resin reinforced with a synthetic fabric

847 Series

The 847 Series is a low-friction guide band made from MTC1, a high-compressive strength composite. This guide band is substantially stronger than nylon-based materials and offers considerably lower water absorption. This new composite provides more accurate piston and rod guidance inside the cylinder under widely varying load conditions. Reduced bushing deformation allows the seals and wipers to perform at maximum efficiency, while minimizing the risk of scoring and abrasion
