FAQs of Guide Strips:
Q: How are PTFE Guide Strips used in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders?
A: PTFE Guide Strips act as bearing elements that guide the piston or rod in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. Their low friction and wear resistance help ensure smooth, precise motion and protect cylinder surfaces from metal-on-metal contact.
Q: What benefits do PTFE Guide Strips offer over traditional materials?
A: Compared to conventional materials, PTFE Guide Strips provide outstanding chemical resistance, reduced water absorption, excellent dielectric strength, and very low friction coefficients, leading to less maintenance and extended service life.
Q: When should I opt for custom-sized Guide Strips?
A: Custom-sized Guide Strips are ideal when standard dimensions do not suffice or when you need precise fittings to match specific cylinder designs. Our service allows you to select custom lengths, widths, and thicknesses within the available range for optimal performance.
Q: Where can these PTFE strips be applied besides hydraulic cylinders?
A: Beyond hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, these PTFE strips are suitable for use in guiding mechanisms of various machinery, including presses, extrusion lines, and other applications where reduced friction and chemical stability are required.
Q: What is the process for ordering Guide Strips with tailored dimensions?
A: Customers can provide required measurements such as length, thickness, and width within the offered range. Upon confirmation, the strips are precision-cut to specifications, ensuring tight tolerances and high surface quality.
Q: What are the usage advantages of PTFE Guide Strips in harsh environments?
A: PTFE Guide Strips maintain their properties in chemically aggressive, moist, or electrically charged environments. Their low water absorption and inertness to most chemicals make them suitable for industries like chemical processing, food equipment, and pharmaceuticals.
