Lubring Turcite
Lubring Slideways (a proprietary PTFE formulation) is a superior bearing material developed specially for machine tool ways, gibs and other sliding applications.
Lubring has identical properties to Turcite-B® and is widely used by leading machine tool manufacturers, re-builders and in-plant personnel to restore existing equipment to like-new precision.
As a sliding bearing material this material is unequalled for providing high compressive strength and load carrying capabilities, low friction, precise positioning accuracy and minimal wear – with or without lubrication.

Properties include:
- Extruded billet process – a reduced internal stress allows Lubring to lay flat for easier handling
- Superior etched surface – promotes easier, more reliable installation with superior adhesion
- Excellent vibration dampening – dampens cutting tool vibration from migrating throughout the machine tool
- Increased positional accuracy – lower friction increases positional accuracy and repeatability on linear ways
- Chemical resistance – resists aggressive coolants and lubricants
- High wear resistance – ensures long service life
- Low wear in the event of dry operation – protects mechanical components in cases of poor or failed lubrication
- Impervious to moisture
