Guide Tape or Bearing Strip is an important component in a hydraulic cylinder where it stabilizes and reduces vertical movements of the rod. The arising side loads that the PTFE Guide Tape has to withstand can be significant, but the deformation of the PTFE Guide Tape is not permanent.

It is requested to be durable, non-elastic and to have a very low friction. Compared to metal guides the PTFE Guide Tape offer much longer service life and better sealing abilities. From a lubrication point of view, the self-lubricating PTFE Guide Tape exceed the metal guide.
