MERKEL GUIDE RING GUIVEX KBK – SBK

Profiled Merkel Guide Ring Guivex KBK for Pistons and Guide Ring Guivex SBK for Rods, made from fabric-base laminate. Patented product design (patent no. PCT/EP95/03874).

Product advantages

Merkel KBK / SBK guide rings offer clear advantages over conventional guide strips/rings, designed for standardized housings according to ISO 10766 amongst others Interchangeable to existing operating environments of the types SB and SF High radial load Very good utilization of the guide length through even distribution of stress Improved drawing-in of lubricating medium through optimized distribution of stress in the contact zone between guide bush and counter-acting surface Reduced stick-slip tendency Outstanding running behavior with short guide distances (no clamping).

Application

Long stroke cylinders (piston rod bowing under load), short guide distances, short stroke, friction-optimised sealing systems, additional item for metal guides, mobile hydraulics, heavy-duty hydraulics
