Why PTFE Wear Strips?
- Low friction: smooth, stick-slip-free movement
- Protects metal: prevents metal-to-metal contact between piston and bore
- Load capacity: bronze-filled strip carries high side loads
- Easy fitting: strip is cut to length and fitted into the groove
Applications
- Piston and rod guides in hydraulic cylinders
- Machine-tool slideways (bonded etched strip)
- Conveyor and chain guides
- Sliding doors, gates and linear guides

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is PTFE guide strip used for?
A. It is cut and fitted into grooves on hydraulic pistons and rods to guide them and prevent metal contact.
Q2. Why is bronze-filled PTFE used for guide strip?
A. Bronze increases load capacity and conducts heat away from the sliding surface.
Q3. Can PTFE strip be glued to a slideway?
A. Yes, if it is etched on one side for bonding.
Q4. Is guide strip supplied in rolls?
A. Yes, in rolls or cut lengths.
