Piston Banding
EGPL Specially developed Banded PistonTechnology have several Advantages in Vehicle Comfort Performance
- Reduced Friction: Our Banded pistons typically feature a low-friction PTFE( Poly tetra flour ethylene ) material around the piston band (Teflon). This reduces friction between the piston and the shock absorber cylinder, allowing for smoother operation.
- Improved Sealing: The Teflon around the piston helps to create a better seal between the piston and the cylinder wall. This improves the efficiency of the shock absorber by minimizing fluid bypass and ensuring that the damping force is consistently applied.
- Enhanced Durability: The band material can be more resistant to wear and tear compared to metal-on-metal contact. This can extend the lifespan of the shock absorber and maintain performance over a longer period.
- Consistency in Performance: The reduced friction and improved sealing contribute to more consistent damping characteristics, which can enhance the vehicle’s handling and comfort.
- Overall, our banded pistons enhance the performance, reliability, and longevity of shock absorbers, making them a preferred choice in many automotive applications.
