What are sliding plates?
Sliding plates are flat, wear-resistant components that are used as friction-reducing contact surfaces between moving machine parts.
What does a sliding plate do?
A sliding plate ensures smooth, low-wear movements between components and protects structures from material damage.
Product description: Technical specifications and available materials
Materials
Depending on the operating environment and technical requirements, we offer sliding plates made from the following materials:
- Brass: good corrosion resistance, suitable for humid environments
- Bronze: high wear resistance, very good emergency running properties
- Sintered materials: uniformly distributed solid lubricant, optimal self-lubrication even with the smallest movements
Our sliding plates are designed for the highest demands in industrial applications. They offer durable, maintenance-free solutions for machine and plant manufacturers who rely on precision and reliability. Thanks to their self-lubricating properties and robust materials, the sliding plates remain efficient even under extreme operating conditions, whether at high temperatures, under heavy mechanical loads, or in contact with moisture and dirt.
