What are PTFE strips?
PTFE strips are solid plastic strips made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a technical engineering material used in industrial applications where low friction and consistent performance are required.
PTFE strips are available in various thicknesses and widths and can be cut to size for machinery, constructions and technical installations.
Where are PTFE strips used?
PTFE strips are used in machinery, conveying systems and mechanical assemblies where controlled movement between components is necessary. They are commonly applied as a contact layer between metal parts to reduce direct friction.
PTFE strips as gliding strips
PTFE strips are frequently used as PTFE gliding strips in applications requiring smooth sliding motion between parts. Due to the low friction characteristics of the material, additional lubrication is often limited or not required.
PTFE gliding strips are installed in guide systems, sliding constructions, machine frames and transport equipment where predictable and stable movement is essential.
