Oiles self-lubricating slide / wear plates & slideways
Oiles self-lubricating slide / wear plates & slideways is part of the Oiles range of multi-material self-lubricating / maintenance-free plain bearings — metal-polymer composites, oil-impregnated and solid-lubricant-embedded metals (bronze/steel), special engineering resins, and self-lubricating slide/wear plates for structural and die applications. The direct analogue to Bushingo Metagliss self-lubricating composite friction plates — both provide maintenance-free flat sliding surfaces for dies, slideways and structural bearings. Where the plate must carry very high load or heat, the solid-lubricant-bronze plate variant also cross-references to #2000 above and to BP25-class bronze; for corrosive or insulating duty it maps to the #500SP resin plate. Quote Metagliss (or the matching Bushingo plate material) against Oiles plate/slideway enquiries by plan size, thickness and duty.
Specification
| Brand | Oiles |
|---|---|
| Series | Oiles self-lubricating slide / wear plates & slideways |
| Material | Flat self-lubricating bearing plates and slideway elements built from the Oiles material family — solid-lubricant bronze (#2000-type), metal-polymer, or special resin (#500SP-type) — supplied as plates, liners, gibs and wear strips. |
| Forms | wear plate / bearing plate, slideway liner, gib / strip, turn-plate, custom-cut sheet |
| Typical size range | Plate products are specified by plan dimensions and thickness rather than bore; supplied as standard plates, strips and machined-to-drawing blanks across a broad size range. General characteristic; confirmed per RFQ. |
Key features
- Maintenance-free flat sliding surfaces for linear and rotary guidance
- Available in multiple base materials to match load, speed and environment
- Accommodates large contact areas and structural loads
- Reduces stick-slip and eliminates lubrication service on ways and gibs
- Machinable / cut-to-size for retrofit and custom tooling
Typical applications
- Press-die and stamping-tool wear plates and cam slides
- Machine-tool slideways, gibs and turn-plates
- Structural and bridge sliding / expansion bearings
- Heavy-equipment sliding supports and turntables
- Material-handling guides and linear-motion surfaces
