Z and ZZ type scraper rings
Z and ZZ scraper rings are responsible for securing the operation of primary piston seals, on which the overall cylinder sealing depends. This type of rings is designed to prevent solid or liquid contaminants in the form of dust, mud, or active fluids from affecting the movement of the piston or the gland seal and piston guide. They are a popular choice for scraping purposes.
What are Z and ZZ scraper rings?
Scraper rings Z and ZZ are sealing elements used in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, designed to remove contaminants, moisture, and solid particles from the piston surface during its reciprocating motion. The Z model is a standard solution for general applications, while the ZZ model features a reinforced construction for better resistance to heavy loads and dirt. Made of durable elastomers or polyurethane, these rings prevent dirt from entering the system, extending the lifespan of the cylinder and minimizing the risk of failure.
Where are Z and ZZ retaining rings used?
Z and ZZ scraper rings are used in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, where the key is to protect the piston from contamination. They are used in construction machinery (excavators, loaders, cranes), agricultural equipment (tractors, presses), as well as in industrial systems and automation, where cylinders operate in harsh environmental conditions. The Z model is applied in standard applications, while the ZZ model, thanks to its reinforced construction, is effective in areas with intense contamination, moisture, and dust, ensuring longer seal life.
What are the benefits of using Z and ZZ scraper rings?
The sealing rings Z and ZZ provide effective protection for the pistons of hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, eliminating dirt, dust, mud, and moisture that could damage the system. The Z model is suitable for standard conditions, while the ZZ model, thanks to its reinforced construction, ensures greater resistance to heavy contamination. Their use extends the lifespan of the seals, reduces the risk of leaks and failures, and minimizes friction, resulting in a more efficient operation of the cylinder and lower operating costs in demanding industrial and mobile environments.
