Trelleborg Sealing Solutions Turcite® B Slydway® PTFE Bearing Material
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Fluoropolymer; Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)

Material Notes: Turcite®-B Slydway® is a low friction etched one side linear bearing material which is used primarily on the ways and gibs of CNC machine tools. It provides low friction, stick-slip-free operation, long life and minimum wear. Turcite®-B Slydway® is applied using a two-part epoxy resin after cleaning and degreasing the bare metal surface thoroughly. Turcite®-B Slydway® is dimensionally stable, maintenance free and can be operated with or without lubrication.

Key Properties:

  • Low friction without stick slip for positional accuracy at different velocities, especially low speeds
  • Low coefficient of friction in intermittent lack of lubrications
  • Chemical resistant to a broad range of lubricants for extended product life
  • Reduces machine tool vibration through damping characteristics
  • Minimal abrasion of hardware, preventing damage to counter surfaces
  • High wear resistance for extended product life
  • Thicknesses to meet design requirements
Applications:
  • Linear bearing strip machine tool gibs
  • Linear bearing strip machine tool ways
