TEBAK SLIDEWAY

TEBAK® SLIDEWAY

FIRST CHINA SLIDE WAY MANUFACTURED BY TEBAK MACHINERY CO.

TEBAK® Slide Way is a high performance thermoplastic material for use on linear bearing application as found on the guideways of machine tools and other linear bearing applications. Guideways on machine tools ensure the exact direction of motion of components such as slides, sleeves, quills, plungers, etc. At the same time, guideways must bear the weight of the guided components and workpieces and absorb the machining forces without deformation.

TEBAK® 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 12" wide rolls, with lengths varying depending on thickness. One side or both sides are etched depending on application to accept the adhesive.

TEBAK® B is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) based bearing material with low friction for machine tool industry linear bearing applications.

TEBAK® comes in 12" and 24" wide rolls. Or we will custom cut to your specifications. There is no minimum order.

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 TEBAK ® 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.

Features and Benefits of TEBAK ® B :

• 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
