FEC200 bar stock - plate

FEC200 bar stock - plate
FEC200 is a cost-effective plastic plate option designed for everyday wear pads and glide plates. It offers clean, dry-running performance with reliable wear behavior and straightforward machinability for general industrial use.

When to use it: For economical flat wear parts and guides at low to medium loads.
When not to use it: For food-grade compliance, see A160 or A350; for higher temperature and chemical resistance, consider AD500; for low-friction general-purpose plates, see J or JB.

Industry/Application Areas

• General machine building
• Fixtures, guides, and wear pads
• Maintenance and retrofit plates

igus® plate stock provides flat iglide® slabs for machining wear plates, bearing blocks, glide pads, and custom flat parts. Plates are self-lubricating and maintenance free, supporting low friction and long service life without external lubrication. The large face area favors pocketing, counterbores, and nesting multiple parts from one blank, with broad material options for food, chemical, or temperature demands. Available in round bar stock, plate stock, sheet stock, plate strips, and custom profiles (upon request).

When to use plate stock

• Wider or thicker flat parts not economical in strips or sheets
• Faces needing pockets, counterbores, or tapped features
• Nesting several components from one plate to reduce setups
• Stiff mounting faces, large wear pads, bolt through interfaces
• Need the broadest choice of iglide® grades for a specific counterface

When not to use plate stock

• Long, narrow rails that fit a standard strip width (choose plate strips)
• Very thin liners or shims with tight height limits (choose sheet stock)
• Turned, round parts (choose round bar)
• Very high volumes of one geometry (use catalog parts or molding)
