Polo Rod Guide Eye
From 2018 Ritelite have fitted the new Polo Rod Guide Eye.
The new Cobra ‘Polo’ guide eye is designed to improve performance over the previous insert system as follows;
- Increased longevity
- Quicker to replace in the field
- End of life ‘Safe’
Quicker to fit polo
The insert system required a press, vice or risked hammering the insert into place damaging the insert or worse. No special tools are required to fit polo.
The Polo in made on the same material as the insert however;
- The wall thickness on the insert is 6mm
- The wall thickness on the Polo is 16mm
- This will give a 166% increase in wear life
Safe end on life
The older insert system allowed the user to carry on using the rod when the insert had been fully used up. This would allow the rod to wear against the steel insert holder. This would remove the coating from the rod and require a new rod to be fitted to repair.
Easier to monitor
The flat surface of the ‘Polo’ makes it easier to see the waer of the material compared to the insert housed within the holder.
