DELRIN ® CASE STUDY
Delrin ® – for Hydraulic Guide Rings
Delrin® provides long-term structural integrity
and dimensional stability for guide rings.
General Information:
Delrin® acetal homopolymer (Polyoxymethylene POM) has the required mechanical properties to ensure
long-lasting performance in these highly demanding applications.
As a lightweight and cost-effective alternative to metal, Delrin® combines low-friction and high-wear
resistance with stable dimensions and chemical resistance - across a wide temperature range.
Customers select glass-filled Delrin® to maximize strength and rigidity, ensuring these guide rings meet
the demands of a variety of heavy-duty hydraulic systems.
Why Delrin®?
• Long-lasting resistance to radial loads due to high stiffness and
creep resistance
• Long-term dimensional stability with minimal humidity absorption
• Excellent part precision during processing to achieve tight tolerances
• Good resistance and stability in the presence of hydraulic oils
• Consistent performance across a broad range of temperatures
(from -40 to 110°C)
• Easy sliding for greater efficiency and reduced wear to extend
service life
