We manufacture precision Rider Rings for reciprocating compressors, designed to
guide and support the piston while preventing metal-to-metal contact between the
piston body and cylinder liner. Rider rings act as load-bearing components,
ensuring proper piston alignment and protecting the compressor cylinder from
excessive wear.
Our rider rings are manufactured from high-performance PTFE materials such as
glass-filled PTFE, carbon-filled PTFE, bronze-filled PTFE, and other specialised
compounds that provide excellent wear resistance, low friction, and high
load-carrying capability. These properties make them ideal for continuous
operation in demanding compressor environments.
With extensive experience in machining compressor sealing and guiding components,
we produce rider rings with accurate dimensions and consistent quality, suitable
for both OEM compressor manufacturers and maintenance replacement requirements.
We manufacture rider rings in multiple design configurations,
including:
• Solid (One-Piece) Rider Rings
• Angle Cut Rider Rings
• Scarf Cut Rider Rings
• Butt Cut Rider Rings
• Tangent Cut Rider Rings
• Segmented / Multi-Piece Rider Rings
• Grooved or Pressure-Relief Rider Rings
Our rider rings are widely used in air compressors, process gas compressors, hydrogen compressors, petrochemical plants, and industrial gas processing systems, where reliable piston guidance and reduced wear are critical for long compressor service life.
