<p>A wear ring (20) constructed for use with a pneumatic tube system carrier (10) of a type having two spaced apart wear rings (20) positioned near the axial ends of the carrier (10). The wear ring (20) is comprised of a rigid, yet flexible, annular support member (22) having an outer cylindrical surface (34). A layer of woven fabric (26) selected from the group consisting of cotton, nylon, wool, or felt is bonded to the cylindrical surface of the support member. The fabric material preferably has a coefficient of friction with the interior transfer tube not greater than .35.</p> |
