REC200 bar stock - plate

REC200 – plate stock
REC200 is a robust plate option offered in a very wide thickness range, enabling thick structural liners and heavy-duty wear pads. It delivers clean, dry-running performance with reliable wear behavior and straightforward machining for demanding industrial uses.

When to use it: When very thick plates are required for robust wear pads or structural liners.
When not to use it: For food-grade compliance, see A160 or A350; for maximum chemical resistance at high heat, consider AD500; for low-friction general-purpose plates, see J or JB; for ESD-sensitive areas, see F161.

Industry/Application Areas

• Heavy equipment and plant engineering
• Jigs, fixtures, and bearing plates
• Large wear pads and glide surfaces

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)
