About wiper seals & guide rings
A wiper (scraper) seal sits at the mouth of a cylinder and scrapes dust, mud and water off the rod as it retracts. Guide rings and guide strips keep the piston and rod centred and stop metal-to-metal contact. Together they protect the main seals and make them last longer.
We stock single and double-lip wipers in PU and nitrile, metal-cased wipers for heavy-duty housings, pneumatic rod wipers, and guide rings in PTFE, POM and phenolic fabric.

Why does a cylinder need a wiper seal?
Without a wiper, dirt on the rod is pulled into the cylinder on every stroke, scoring the rod and destroying the rod seal. A wiper costs little and greatly extends seal life.
What is the difference between a snap-in and a metal-cased wiper?
A snap-in wiper sits in a groove in the gland. A metal-cased wiper is pressed into an open housing and is preferred on heavy machines working in dirt.
What do guide rings do?
They take the side load on the piston and rod so the metal parts never touch. Worn guide rings let the piston rub the bore and quickly ruin the seals.
