Engineered to extend the life of machine tools, guides, bearings, and hydraulic equipment, our slideway sheets reduce stick-slip motion and ensure smooth linear movement under varying loads.
PTFE wear or slide lining sheets are reinforced PTFE-based materials that are optimized for sliding applications involving frequent motion, heavy loads, or sensitive alignment. They are typically installed as bearing surfaces, guideway linings, or anti-friction pads on machine beds, slides, or cylinders.
These sheets are comparable to Turcite® (a registered brand) and offer equivalent properties for friction reduction, wear resistance, and dry-running performance.
- Low coefficient of friction: Ideal for dry or lubricated linear movement.
- Excellent wear resistance: Withstands repeated motion without deformation.
- Stick-slip free operation: Ensures accuracy and smooth transition speeds.
- Chemically resistant: Inert to oils, greases, coolants, and most chemicals.
- Easy to bond or bolt: Can be glued or mechanically fastened to substrates.
- Wide range of thicknesses & colors: Customizable to machine or application needs.
- Enhances machine accuracy and performance
- Absorbs vibration, reduces noise and chatter
