Turcite® Slydring® is used as piston and rod guides due to the outstanding friction behavior, stick-slip free running and good resistance to high temperatures and chemicals. Slydring® is available off-the-roll cut to length. Sections cut to size ready for installation are available for piston and rod diameters according to Table 186. Slydring® has a geometrically rectangular cross-section and is chamfered for easy installation into the grooves.
