Trelleborg Highlights Turcite Slydway for Low-Friction Linear Motion

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions has released a fully updated catalog for its Turcite® Slydway® thermoplastic bearing system, engineered for high-performance linear sliding applications. Designed to deliver precise, repeatable movement while minimizing friction, the system has a long track record in sectors including machine tools, construction, and civil engineering. Its properties are intended to prevent jamming, backlash, and stick-slip, even at low speeds, while damping vibrations and maintaining dimensional stability under demanding operating conditions.

The revised reference material details the full Turcite® Slydway® product line, outlining material options such as Turcite® B and Turcite® LF, performance characteristics, and recommended working conditions. It also includes guidance on the use of Waylock® and Wayprep®, the company’s adhesive system for bonding Turcite® Slydway® to machine surfaces. Comprehensive data on friction, deformation, and storage, along with ordering information and standard dimensions in both metric and inch formats, are provided to support specification and integration.

The Turcite® Slydway® range is positioned to meet the requirements of applications where consistent accuracy and extended service life are essential. With its combination of low friction, stability, and vibration reduction, it offers engineers and equipment operators a solution aimed at improving operational reliability in heavy-duty environments.
