OILES 500 SP Stepped Plates (SLC):High-Strength Self-Lubricating Solutions for Precision Guidance

Elevate your machinery's reliability with our OILES 500 SP Stepped Plates (SLC Series). Designed for applications where traditional fluid lubrication is impossible or insufficient, the SLC series utilizes a solid lubricant embedded technology (Plugged Type). By combining a specialized SO#50SP2 high-strength copper cast alloy with precisely engineered graphite plugs, these stepped plates offer a maintenance-free, heavy-duty solution that ensures smooth motion under extreme surface pressure.

Why Choose OILES 500 SP (SLC) Stepped Plates?

The SLC series stands out from conventional bronze plates due to its unique "Step" geometry and advanced metallurgical matrix:

• Integrated Stepped Design: The SLC's specialized stepped structure is engineered for precise lateral positioning and simultaneous load support. It is the industry standard for cam-stroke components and side-guide units in complex die sets.
• SO#50SP2 High-Strength Matrix: While standard bronze plates may deform under 50 N/mm², the C86300-grade high-strength brass backing handles static loads up to 100 N/mm². This "hard-base" alloy provides exceptional shock absorption and resists plastic deformation during high-impact cycles.
• Instantaneous "Running-In" Film: Upon the very first movement, the embedded lubricant plugs release a microscopic layer of graphite that transfers to the counter-material. This creates a thick, protective film that prevents metal-to-metal galling even before a full motion cycle is completed.
• Anti-Stick-Slip Performance: By maintaining a stable, low-friction interface, the 500 SP technology eliminates the jerky "stick-slip" motion common in low-speed, high-load operations, ensuring the dimensional accuracy of your workpieces.

Technical Data & Material Features

Engineered for stability in harsh environments, the SLC series thrives where oil films fail to form:

How It Works: The Self-Sustaining Lubrication Cycle

Conventional lubricants are easily "squeezed out" of the contact area under heavy loads, leading to dry friction and catastrophic failure. OILES 500 SP technology creates a permanent reservoir:

1. Micro-Movement Activation: Friction triggers the release of solid lubricant particles from the embedded plugs.
2. Adhesive Film Formation: The particles form a firmly adhesive, solid lubricant film that stays within the contact area even under extreme pressure.
3. Continuous Replenishment: As the surface wears minutely over time, new lubricant is exposed, ensuring consistent low friction and a service life that often outlasts the machine itself.

Typical Applications

The SLC series is the trusted choice for heavy-duty infrastructure where manual maintenance is difficult:

• Automotive Stamping Dies: Precise L-shaped and stepped guide units for high-tonnage presses.
• Steel Industry: Continuous casting and rolling machines subject to high heat and scale.
• Heavy Machinery: Mining equipment, turbines, and shipping machinery pivot points.
• Injection Molding: High-precision wear plates for large-scale clamping and ejection systems.
