Turcite® Grades & Key Properties
Turcite ® A is a self-lubricating Acetal-based thermoplastic bearing material. Turcite ® A is suitable for moderate to heavy loads at moderate speeds. It performs well under vibratory and dynamic loading and is readily machinable. It is recommended for a maximum continuous service temperature of 180°F (80°C). It is BLUE in color.
Turcite ® X is a self-lubricating Acetal-based thermoplastic bearing material. Turcite ® X excels in low load and high speed applications, and can be easily machined. It has minimal hygroscopic characteristics and possesses low thermal expansion properties, resulting in a structurally stable material. Its maximum continuous service temperature is also 180°F (80°C). It is RED in color.
Turcite ® B Slydway ® is a low friction etched one side linear bearing material which is used primarily on the ways and gibs of CNC machine tools. It provides low friction, stick-slip-free operation, long life and minimum wear. Turcite ®-B Slydway® is applied using a two-part epoxy resin after cleaning and degreasing the bare metal surface thoroughly. Turcite ®-B Slydway ® is dimensionally stable, maintenance free and can be operated with or without lubrication.
