Parker Hydraulic Group
Global Shield™ Rod Coating Technology

Key Features

  • Less Downtime from reduced maintenance intervals (cylinder repairs and seal replacements)
  • Longer Seal Life in corrosive environments 
  • Lower Service Costs since you won’t need to replace the piston rod due to corrosion
  • Significantly Improved Corrosion Resistance from the single-layer, fully-dense, submicron structure and the lack of micro-cracks inherent to chrome plating
  • Lower Friction
  • Ductile and Tough so when the rod bends, it does too 
  • Engineered Hardness (HRC 54 minimum) for wear-resistance
