Cylinder Boot

The Cylinder Boot by Woodward Machine (MPN GE361) is a precision rack and pinion dust boot engineered to protect critical steering and actuation components from contamination and wear. Designed for professionals and technicians who demand reliable equipment protection, this compact seal eliminates the need for frequent maintenance downtime by creating a barrier against dirt, moisture, and abrasive particles that compromise mechanical performance. Whether specified for original equipment or replacement service, the cylinder boot serves as an essential wear item in hydraulic and mechanical systems where seal integrity directly impacts operational longevity.

This dust boot is manufactured to exacting tolerances that ensure a secure fit on standard rack and pinion assemblies, preventing lateral movement while accommodating normal extension and retraction cycles. The flexible elastomeric construction resists UV degradation, temperature fluctuation, and common industrial solvents, maintaining its sealing properties across extended storage and harsh field conditions. At just 0.08 pounds and measuring 2.9 x 2.15 x 9.25 inches, the compact form factor integrates seamlessly into tight equipment geometries without adding weight or bulk to the overall assembly.

Maintenance technicians and equipment manufacturers rely on Woodward Machine cylinder boots for cost-effective preventive protection across industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, and heavy-duty automotive systems. Installation requires only basic hand tools and takes minutes, making it ideal for scheduled service intervals or emergency field repairs. Stocking this OEM-specification component ensures you maintain consistent performance standards across your equipment fleet without compromising on genuine Woodward quality and compatibility.
