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.

Typical applications for sliding plates

A sliding plate from SL Gleitlagertechnik is used wherever moving components need to be guided reliably, with minimal wear and with as little maintenance as possible. Due to their high load-bearing capacity, low coefficient of friction and resistance to dirt, moisture and mechanical shocks, our sliding plates are suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, from high-precision manufacturing machines to heavy, robust steel structures used outdoors.

 

Typical industries and applications:

Used in precision guide elements, for example, in machine tools, conveyor systems, or packaging machines, where precise movements and long service life are required.

 

 

Used as load-bearing or movable bearing surfaces in large structures, such as bridge elements, crane systems or heavy-duty platforms.

 

Robust sliding plates for bearings in excavators, cranes, concrete pumps or wheel loaders that must withstand continuous high loads and harsh environmental conditions.

Specific application examples from practice:

  • Sliding guides in swivel arms for low-friction, smooth rotational movements without additional lubrication.
  • Bearing plates in presses for even force distribution, minimizing wear and increasing operational reliability.

  • Plates for steel structures ensure safe load transfer, reduce material stresses and control movement under temperature fluctuations or dynamic loads.

With their versatility, durability and wide range of materials, our sliding plates make a significant contribution to extending the service life of machines and equipment. At the same time, they reduce maintenance and operating costs, a clear advantage for machine and plant manufacturers, industrial distributors and companies of all sizes.
