Model PTFE -Wear Strips and Bands for Hydraulic and Pneumatic Equipment
Poly Fluoro Ltd specializes in advanced polymer solutions, notably PTFE wear strips and bands designed for hydraulic and pneumatic equipment. These components are engineered to prevent equipment seizures, a common issue with other guidance materials, by offering extremely low friction and break-away forces. Capable of handling temperatures up to 200°C, the strips and bands resist all types of hydraulic fluids and mitigate costly cylinder repairs. The material comprises PTFE with a 40% bronze filling, allowing it to support heavy loads and minimize radial movement in rams and pistons, thus extending the life of associated seals. Known for retrofitting existing bearing grooves, Poly Fluoro’s components eliminate the need for unnecessary equipment modifications and are available in standard groove dimensions to help manage inventory costs. Cut-to-size strips accommodate equipment exceeding 300 mm in diameter, with applications commonly found in shock absorber struts, enhancing the longevity and efficiency of industrial systems.
Poly Fluoro Ltd Piston Bands are designed for hydraulic and pneumatic equipment. Its unique design prevents equipment seizures which can arise with other forms of guidance materials. Poly Fluoro Ltd Piston Bands offer extremely low friction and break-away forces. This material is also resistant to all hydraulic fluids and is suitable for temperatures up to 200°C.
Poly Fluoro Ltd Piston bands are the solution to costly cylinder re-machining and repairs for large diameter equipment. Coils are available in common sizes and are easy to use, cut and install.
The bearing material is made from PTFE with a 40% Bronze filling and is specifically designed to support heavy loads. The exceptional physical properties and PTFE's self-lubrication properties make the piston bands suitable for use on rams or pistons in reciprocating applications.
- Prevents metal to metal scoring and prolongs equipment life
- Reduces radial movement on both rams and pistons to extend seal life
- PTFE's self-lubrication allows for lower coefficient of friction between mating surfaces
- Retrofits existing bearing groves and eliminates unnecessary modifications
- Available in common groove width dimensions, minimizing inventory costs
- Strips can be cut to size from the coil
- Accommodates equipment over 300 mm in diameter
