In our newsletter, you not only get updates about SGO but also have a chance to explore a variety of SGO products through our 'All about SGO Bearings' series. Last time, we introduced the Mesh PTFE Bearing. Today, let's delve into the latest addition to the SGO online store – Bearing Soft Strips (the Slideway Soft Strips). Stay tuned for more exciting discoveries!

What is Bearing Soft Strip?🤔

The Slideway Soft Strips are bearing tapes made of PTFE, known for excellent friction and wear resistance. One of its distinctive features is having nearly equal static and dynamic friction coefficients.

These strips are used in machine tool guideways to prevent *Stick-Slip phenomena, reducing wear in guide sets. They ensure precise positioning and smooth movement without unwanted vibrations.

*Stick-Slip Phenomenon refers to the occurrence where two contacting objects slide and then one suddenly moves abruptly.

Minimal difference in static and dynamic friction coefficients: Prevents crawling, allowing smooth movement of guide rails.
Excellent wear resistance: Enhances precision of guide rails and extends maintenance cycles for machine tools.
Shock and noise absorption capabilities: Improves surface precision and quality of machined materials.
Good self-lubrication and low friction coefficient: Reduces driving force, preventing scratching on metal guide rail surfaces.
Easy maintenance: Suitable for guide ways in precision machining tools, agricultural machinery, and printing machines.

Application and Specifications

Due to its excellent wear resistance, Slideway Soft Strips can be easily applied to various uses such as sliding bushings, gaskets, and more.🛠️

We plan to showcase various products through the 'All about SGO Bearings' series in the future. Your continued interest is highly appreciated. Thank you.
