Wear Strips & Wear Plates

Motion offers a selection of wear strips and wear plates from leading brands like SKF, System Plast, and Oiles America Corporation. Wear strips and wear plates control and guide linear motion in heavy-duty mechanical applications. Also known as wearways or wear strip ways, wear plates are ideal in locations that experience direct impact, abrasion, or damaging heat. Wearways absorb the undesirable forces to protect the underlying equipment. Available in many different configurations, wear plates are often used in die and mold production components, custom cams, slides, and other heavy machinery. Most wear plates contain at least two mounting holes. Cam dwell wear plates may feature a beveled design with additional holes for specific mounting purposes. Wear plates are typically thicker than wear strips and may have one or more chamfered or rounded edges. Wear strips usually contain straight edges on all sides. Most wear plates and wear strips are made of self-lubricating aluminum bronze or bronze-plated steel.
