Piston Banding
EGPL Specially developed Banded Piston Technology 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.
