Slide Plates

Piping Technology & Products, Inc. supplies slide bearing plates for a variety of applications including support of piping, heavy equipment such as pressure vessels, and structural steel members. The plates provide a surface with a low coefficient of friction which can be attached to a supporting structure. This combination provides support while simultaneously allowing an object to move (slide) freely along the supporting surface.

Slide bearing plates are components of many products Piping Technology & Products, Inc. supplies such as guided pipe shoes and up-thrust constants.  As a result, we have extensive experience in bonding PTFE, 25% Glass Filled and graphite to metal plates. Modern adhesives are adequate for most applications, however, mechanical fasteners such as counter-sunk screws can be added when needed.  If you have a unique situation, we are eager to meet your challenge and create a custom-designed solution.
