Rod guide ring for Demag AC80-1

The rod guide ring, part number 356 227 40, facilitates the movement of a rod within a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder. By maintaining the alignment of the rod, it prevents lateral forces from impacting the seals and the rod surface, which helps prevent fluid leaks or system failures. This component is used in various assemblies on the Demag AC80-1, including boom extension cylinders, leveling cylinders, and outrigger cylinders.

This guide ring is compatible with the Demag AC80-1 crane. It is designed to fit specific cylinder configurations to ensure the mechanical stability of the rod during operation. Proper installation and maintenance of the guide ring assist in protecting the integrity of the associated seals and the rod itself.

In hydraulic systems, guide rings are used to center the piston rod within the cylinder bore and to support the rod against side loading. By managing the clearance between the rod and the cylinder head, they provide the necessary guidance for linear motion and help distribute mechanical loads evenly across the sealing interface.
