Rod Wiper—Polyurethane, double lip
type wiper designed to protect the piston
rod, bearing and rod seal, is standard for
all rod sizes. Also, metallic scrapers and
Viton wipers are available for all rod sizes.
3. Bolted Rod Gland Cartridges—Heavy
wall, ductile iron bearing is accurately
piloted in head to assure perfect
alignment, designed to accept a variety
of seal styles. With certain exceptions, the
cartridges can be removed without
removing mounts or tie rod nuts.This
eliminates the necessity of cylinder
disassembly to replace the rod seals or
rod bearing. Bearings are held in place
with bolted steel retainer plates.
Bearing used for a given rod size are
interchangeable into any cylinder bore
with the same rod diameter.
a. Rod Seal—Polyurethane compound, flexible lip type rod seal has excellent
abrasion resistance and is wear
compensating. Inherent characteristics
of the material and design assure leak proof performance and long life.
b. Rod Bearing—Ductile iron material
insures low friction, high load capabilities
and long life
