HERCULES METAL CLAD WIPER RING

Description & Features

Designed for hydraulic cylinder applications, the Hercules Metal Clad Wiper Ring provides reliable rod-end sealing by preventing contaminants such as dirt, dust, and moisture from entering the cylinder. The metal cladding reinforces the wiper's structural integrity, helping it maintain consistent contact with the rod surface across a range of operating conditions.

Manufactured by Hercules Sealing Products, this wiper ring is suited for use in industrial hydraulic cylinders where external contamination control is critical to seal longevity and cylinder performance.

Question by: Eddie C on Nov 8, 2025, 6:16 PM

keeping dirt and dust off the rod is the whole point, right?

Answer by: Customer Support on Nov 10, 2025, 9:42 AM

On hydraulic cylinders, it sits at the rod end and wipes the rod as it moves so dirt, dust, and moisture do not get pulled into the cylinder. That helps protect the other seals and supports better cylinder performance.

What exactly does the metal cladding do on this wiper ring, and why's it better than a plain rubber wiper?

Answer by: Customer Support on Oct 2, 2025, 7:36 PM

The metal cladding reinforces the wiper's structure so it holds its shape and keeps steady contact with the rod surface even under varying operating conditions. A plain rubber wiper can flex or distort over time, which lets it lose that consistent contact. The metal backing keeps things tight and stable, which is what you need when you're trying to stop dirt, dust, and moisture from sneaking past the rod end and into the cylinder.
