Freno-Glide Wear Rings

The high compressive strength, good sliding behavior and the exceptional wear resistance properties ensure a long life service.

Freno-Glide Guide bands are made from a fabric reinforced polyester resin engineered for high performance as guide bands or wear strips. A very high compressive strength of 50,000 psi makes Freno-Glide the superior choice for those tough applications where high side loadings or mis-alignment are present. Unlike many other composite materials, Fren0-Glide will not fracture under excessive loading, making it perfect for applications which experience high shock loading or high edge loading.

Freno-Glide wear rings of fabric composite materials are used in Hydraulic Cylinders which are subject to high loads such as can occur in mobile hydraulics and press construction.
