Graphite slide plates are suitable for environments that require durability under extreme temperatures, often replacing PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), 25% glass-filled slide plates. These graphite plates are widely used in various industrial applications that involve sliding movements, heat, and high pressure.

  • Slide plates are a type of linear bearing, consisting of an upper plate and a lower plate. These plates provide a low friction surface that can be attached to a support structure. The combination of plates provides support while still allowing free movement along the support surface. The bottom plate is fixed, meaning that the top can slide as expansion or contraction occurs.

  • Slide plates can be made from graphite (embedded) and copper, depending on the application. The most common type of slide plate is made by embedding glass-filled graphite into a copper plate. A two-part system is used.

  • We can create slide plates according to any specification.

Bronze Plates

Bronze plates are known for their durability and excellent load-bearing capacity. They are resistant to wear and corrosion, making them suitable for high-stress applications. Bronze plates can be used as a component in slide plates, enhancing the overall strength and durability of the slide plate.

Exceptional Load Capacity: The robust nature of bronze allows these plates to carry heavy loads without deforming or breaking.

High-Temperature Resistance: The graphite within these plates provides excellent thermal resistance, allowing the plates to function effectively under high heat conditions.

Self-Lubricating: The presence of graphite provides self-lubrication, reducing friction and wear on the moving parts of the system.

Durability: These plates are highly durable, withstanding wear and tear over extended periods of heavy use.

Reduced Maintenance: The self-lubricating property of these plates minimizes the need for routine lubrication, reducing maintenance time and costs.

Graphite Bronze Wear Plate Slide Plates C954 Bronze

Slide plates are components that provide a low-friction surface to support linear movement. They typically consist of an upper and lower plate, with the upper plate able to slide freely along the surface of the lower one. Slide plates can be made from various materials, including graphite, bronze, and PTFE, each with their specific benefits and suitable applications.

We can create slide plates according to any specification.

As discussed earlier, these are highly durable plates, designed for high-heat and high-pressure environments. The graphite offers excellent thermal resistance and low friction, making these plates ideal for environments with extreme conditions. The bronze (in this case, the robust C954 or commonly known as Aluminum Bronze), known for its excellent load-bearing capacity, enhances the plate’s ability to withstand substantial loads.

Oilless Bronze Bush with Solid Graphite Inserts

These types of bushings are essentially self-lubricating bearings designed for heavy load applications where traditional lubrication is not feasible or desired. C954 bronze provides high strength and excellent load-bearing capacity, making the bushings robust and durable.

The solid graphite inserts within the bronze bush provide a consistent, low-friction surface that reduces wear and tear. When the bearing is in motion, the graphite is brought to the surface and forms a film that reduces friction and increases the lifespan of the bearing.

In summary, both Graphite Bronze Wear Plate Slide Plates and Oilless Bronze Bush with Solid Graphite Inserts are high-performance components designed to handle challenging environments with high heat and pressure. Their inherent self-lubricating properties reduce the need for maintenance, increase the lifespan of the system, and improve overall efficiency.

Oilless Custom Products

Custom products are tailored to the specific requirements of a particular application. They can be designed and manufactured according to any specification, allowing for the perfect fit and optimal performance in the intended application. Custom products could include bespoke slide plates, bronze plates, bushings, bearings, or any other industrial component.

For example, Graphite Bronze Wear Plate Slide Plates could be customized according to the specific dimensions and performance requirements of the application. Similarly, Oilless Bronze Bush with Solid Graphite Inserts can be designed with specific dimensions and load-bearing capacities to suit the application’s needs.

In summary, whether it’s slide plates, bronze plates, or custom products, each plays a significant role in maintaining efficient operations in various industries. The customization of these components ensures that they perfectly meet the application’s requirements, contributing to improved performance, reduced maintenance, and extended lifespan of the machinery or equipment.

Pipe Bronze Wear Slide Plates

Pipe bronze wear slide plates are designed to facilitate movement and reduce friction in piping systems. These slide plates, made from bronze, are durable and resistant to wear and corrosion, making them suitable for high-stress environments. They can effectively support heavy loads and reduce the wear and tear on pipes, thus prolonging their lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.

Often, these slide plates include graphite inserts, enhancing their performance by providing a self-lubricating surface. This reduces friction even further, resulting in smoother operations and less wear on the pipes.

Bronze Bearings: Bronze bearings are widely used in machinery and equipment due to their excellent load-bearing capacity, good wear resistance, and ability to operate under varying conditions. Bronze as a material is durable and resistant to corrosion, making these bearings a reliable choice for many applications.

Like the pipe bronze wear slide plates, bronze bearings may also incorporate graphite inserts, rendering them self-lubricating. This feature is particularly beneficial in environments where regular lubrication is not feasible or desired. The solid graphite inserts provide a consistent, low-friction surface that reduces wear and tear, increases the bearing’s lifespan, and improves overall system efficiency.

Technological advances have enabled the production of high-quality bronze components such as pipe bronze wear slide plates and bronze bearings. These components are designed to provide superior performance in high-stress environments, reducing maintenance costs and prolonging the lifespan of machinery and equipment. The integration of graphite in these bronze components further enhances their durability and efficiency by providing a self-lubricating surface.

In contrast to PTFE, which can degrade under high heat, graphite has exceptional thermal resistance and stability. This makes it an ideal material for use in applications that may expose the component to intense heat. The graphite provides a low coefficient of friction, reducing wear and tear and increasing the lifespan of the equipment.

In a mining environment, machinery and equipment are exposed to intense wear and tear due to the harsh conditions, heavy loads, and continuous operation. Regular maintenance and replacement of worn-out parts are crucial to keep the operations running smoothly and efficiently. One such component that often requires replacement is the wear plate.

In such applications, Graphite Bronze Wear Plate Slide Plates can be an excellent choice for replacement. These plates, made from durable materials like bronze and graphite, are designed to withstand the harsh conditions commonly found in mining environments.
