WearGard™ Bearing Materials
WearGardTM family of bearing and wear ring materials delivers endurance and reliability in hydraulic cylinder life
WearGardTM is Parker’s newest family of tight tolerance bearing and wear ring materials offered to the market for hydraulic cylinder applications. WearGard offers performance enhancements compared to industry standard bearing materials. Heat stabilized material ensures a product that is dimensionally stable and a design that supports side loading. WearGard materials have successfully endured hundreds of thousands of cycles of harsh performance testing, showing excellent results. Testing is ongoing. Contact Parker Engineered Polymer Systems (EPS) Division to discuss your application.
Product Highlights:
- Glass-reinforced nylon
- Parker’s proprietary, internal lubrication
- Heat stabilized compound
Features
- Glass-reinforced nylon
- Parker’s proprietary, internal lubrication
- Heat stabilized compound
- Distinctive coloring
Benefits
- Higher compressive strength and dimensional stability as required for hydraulic cylinder applications
- Minimal stick/slip combined with less hardware abrasion will eliminate chatter and squeal noise
- Material retains its excellent physical properties at high temperatures (to 275oF). Without a heat stabilized material, expect reduced component life due to physical property degradation
- Ensures recognition of the distinctive WearGard material. Eliminates doubt as to wear ring and bearing material source or design.
Size Availability
Tight tolerance WearGard wear rings are 1/8 inch in thickness (0.123 – 0.125) in diameters from 1/2 to 6 inches. Additional custom sizes are available to meet your application need. Standard WearGard wear rings are butt cut. Step cut and scarf cut wear rings are also available.
Typical Bearing/Wear Ring Applications
Parker’s WearGard materials are the perfect solution for tight tolerance bearing and wear ring products in hydraulic cylinder applications.
WearGard 4734 with proprietary internal lubrication, is used as the bearing material directly molded onto Parker’s all-in-one Integrated PistonTM for hydraulic cylinders. For detailed information and test data, see Parker Catalog EPS-5220/USA.
WearGard 4733 is our tight tolerance wear ring material. Application markets include agriculture, mobile, forestry, construction, mining and many others. Contact Parker EPS Application Engineers for questions regarding specific application compatibilities.
