F3 Guiding Element
Descriptions
The guiding tape profile F3 is specially designed for use in hydraulic cylinders.
Features
• Vibration absorption effect.
• Very good emergency running properties in low-lube conditions.
• High load capacity (compressive
strength), low wear and reduced friction
due to special bronze additive in PTFE
material.
• Also available as bulk material.
• Any desired nominal diameter available
due to use of machining technique.
• Suitable for cylinder repairs.
• Ideally suited for large-diameters.
• Installation in closed and undercut
housings.
Range of application
| Operating temperature | -100 °C to +200 °C |
| Sliding speed | ≤ 5 m/s |
Compounds
Standard: Polon® 052, PTFE + 40 % bronze.
On request: Polon® 062, PTFE + 60 % bronze.
For cylinders made of alloys, light metal and high-grade steel, we recommend the use
of compound Polon® 033 (PTFE + 25 % carbon).
Installation
The gap dimensions “e” guarantee an optimum service life of the guidance tapes. For
the seals, however, the gaps “e” as mentioned on the respective catalogue pages are
to be considered when it is essential to observe full operating conditions („Range of
Application“) for the seals.
