Description

Full Technical Description

The 550 537 48 BACK UP RING (55053748, 550-537-48, BACK UP RING 55053748) is a mining-duty back-up ring engineered for Sandvik drilling rigs, ROC machinery, and underground jumbos. The 550 537 48 BACK UP RING provides structural reinforcement to primary hydraulic seals, preventing extrusion and deformation under extreme pressure, heat, and vibration during drilling operations.

This 550 537 48 BACK UP RING is manufactured from high-strength, extrusion-resistant polymer or elastomer composite materials designed to withstand abrasive dust, hydraulic-oil exposure, and continuous pressure cycling. OEM references 55053748 and 550-537-48 ensure full compatibility with Sandvik sealing systems.

Function & Operation

The 550 537 48 BACK UP RING works together with O-rings and hydraulic seals to maintain internal pressure integrity inside actuators, drifter assemblies, feed cylinders, and rotating mechanisms. By preventing seal extrusion and hydraulic leakage, it significantly extends seal life and supports stable drilling performance in mining and tunneling environments.

Reliability & Maintenance

Inspect the 550 537 48 BACK UP RING for deformation, flattening, extrusion marks, or wear. Replace 550 537 48 immediately if pressure consistency decreases or if hydraulic leakage occurs.
