Turcite® B Slydway – Linear Bearing Material Turcite is PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) resins with added fillers such as bronze, that are extruded into solid billets as opposed to compression molding. Billets are then skived to a nominal thickness in 24″ wide rolls, with lengths varying depending on thickness. One side or both sides are etched depending on application to accept the adhesive. Turcite® B is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) based bearing material with low friction for machine tool industry linear bearing applications. Turcite B comes in 12″ and 24″ wide rolls, or custom cut to your specifications. Rolls up to 60 feet long are available upon request (lead-time may apply) Bond Turcite® B to steel surfaces with Waylock® Adhesive Testing has shown that PTFE based compounds are resistant to virtually all media, cutting fluids and slideway oils. Additionally, these compounds feature outstanding wear resistance and friction characteristics. Head-to-head material testing has shown that Turcite B outperforms key competitive materials for low friction. Turcite B was developed to meet the needs of machine tool manufacturers looking to improve machine tool efficiencies through low friction material technology and reduce stick-slip effect in machine transitions while still maintaining positioning accuracy and vibration damping.
