Chesterton’s 17K Continuous Bearing Band Strips are the solution to costly cylinder re-machining and repairs for large diameter equipment. Coils are available in common sizes and are easy to use, cut and install.

The bearing material is made from a composite polyester resin reinforced with synthetic fibers specifically designed to support heavy loads. The exceptional physical properties and graphite lubricants make 17K Continuous Bearing Band Strips suitable for use on rams or pistons in reciprocating applications.

• Prevents metal to metal scoring and prolongs equipment life.
• Reduces radial movement on both rams and pistons to extend seal life.
• PTFE lubricant allows for lower coefficient of friction between mating surfaces.
• Retrofits existing bearing groves and eliminates unnecessary modifications.
• Available in common groove width dimensions, minimizing inventory costs.
• Strips can be cut to size from the coil.
• Accommodates equipment over 12 inches in diameter.
