What Is A Oilless Guide Plate?
The Oilless guide plate is constructed from high-strength copper alloy (CuZn25Al5, CuZn24Al6Fe3Mn4, SAE430B, HBsC4). Its working surface features machined holes filled with solid lubricant in proportions tailored to specific working conditions. Under dry friction, we create a pre-lubricated film on the bearing surface to ensure rapid transfer of the solid lubricant, ultimately forming an effective film.

Why Use Guide Plate With Graphite?
The friction of sliding guides is common in the industry. Under normal conditions, sliding friction lubricates with oil or grease between them. Normally, its lubrication and friction reduction effect is good and widely used.
Self-lubricating Guide Plate
When in high temperatures, high loads, dust pollution, and other harsh conditions. Grease lubrication will fail or the oil film cannot be established. This will lead to the failure of lubrication between the friction pairs and seriously endanger the normal operation of the equipment. The lubrication failure between the friction vice will seriously endanger the normal operation of the equipment, and even accidents. In response to this situation, Use a graphite guide plate, which has a high bearing capacity and breaks the boundary of general brass relying on oil film lubrication to realize oil-free lubrication.
Self-lubricating Guide Plates For Automotive Dies
Self-lubricating guide plates for automotive dies are precision components that are designed to facilitate smooth and controlled linear motion within the die sets used in the automotive industry. These guide plates are crucial for the efficient operation of automotive dies, which are used for stamping and forming metal parts in the production of vehicles.
Oilless guide plates are available in metric and imperial sizes.
Bronze Guide Plates
Combining the wear resistance of copper alloy with the self-lubricating properties of the lubricant eliminates the need for refueling during maintenance. These products are extensively utilized in applications involving high containment, intermittent, or swinging movements, including steam locomotive production lines, turbine and reservoir doors, and plastic machinery. Various types of copper alloy can be provided based on specific conditions.
- Materials: The guide plates are primarily made from high-quality carburized steel or aluminum bronze. Some are equipped with oil-impregnated graphite plugs for added self-lubrication.
- Manufacturing: Precision-ground and hardened for durability, the self-lubricating versions feature graphite plugs strategically arranged for optimal coverage in any engagement direction.
- Applications: These guide plates are commonly used in automotive sheet metal dies, plastic-injected household product molds, aerospace applications, and oil-drilling equipment. They serve as guides in dies, molds, specialized machinery, and automation.
- Customization: We offer both standard and custom designs based on customer-provided drawings or samples, along with a 100% inspection before shipping to ensure each piece meets the specifications.
Plastic Injection Molding Machine Plate
Guide plates are utilized in plastic injection molding machine clamping mechanisms, extrusion structures, high voltage automatic switches, lifting supports in construction machinery, and supports for arc gates, pulleys, and drive wheels in water conservancy projects.
In injection molding, sliders are often installed on the mold to facilitate smooth product formation and ensure the mold opens seamlessly.
Oil-free Guide Plate | Application
This self-lubricating guide plate can be used in many fields such as; construction machinery joint parts, such as excavators, mining scrapers, rotary drilling rigs, concrete trucks, rock drilling machinery, winches, port cranes, etc., and metallurgical machinery continuous casting machinery, water conservancy machinery, conveying machinery, rolling mills, blowing machine film blowing machine, injection molding machine crosshead clamping differential, tire curing machine, trailer balance beam, etc..
self-lubricating guide plates are an essential component in automotive dies, providing a maintenance-free and efficient solution for guiding and controlling linear motion under heavy forces. They are available in various materials and can be customized to meet specific application requirements.
Advantage Of Guide Plate
Oilless guide plates provide higher wear performance. With proper lubrication, these components can provide performance over a wide range of operating times.
Plugged Graphite Guide Plate
Bronze guide plates can be machined from C93200 SAE 660-bearing bronze alloy. The addition of a small amount of lead gives this bearing bronze alloy excellent bearing performance. Lead does not enter the alloy matrix as copper, tin, and zinc do. Instead, it forms small pools in the grain structure. These pools of lead serve the dual purpose of enhancing machinability and providing natural internal lubrication in the event of a dry start. Inlaid solid graphite is lubricated to provide additional lubrication to these components.
