within the cylinder to the outside. The
piston seal prevents fluid from flowing across the cylinder head. This allows pressure build up on one side of the
piston, making the cylinder extend or retract. Wear rings guide the
piston and
piston rod of a
hydraulic cylinder, absorbing transverse
forces, preventing metal-to-metal contact. Scrapers or Wipers scrape dirt, foreign particles, chips or moisture from the
piston rods as they retract into the system, preventing contamination.
