Sudbury International is a valuable source of slide bearing pads

Slide pads eliminate structural wear and tear.

Although the company is known for supplying non-metallic expansion joints for ducting and piping systems, Sudbury International Engineered Products Limited has a diverse product lineup with more items. One example is slide bearing pads. Businesses use these products for a broad range of piping and structural applications, as they allow movement to compensate for misalignment, adverse rotations, and thermal expansion. They have been trusted in several Canadian industries for more than 40 years.

Eliminating wear and tear

Slide bearing pads are sometimes known as slide pads. These are products that reduce the play between sliding frames in structures, eliminating wear and tear. By replacing slide pads regularly, users can boost equipment precision as well as prevent damage to structural components. Companies can also keep their equipment precise and functional by adjusting and replacing slide pads on a regular basis, which results in minimal repair expenses that waste time and money. Larger slide pads decrease the amount of workshop visits, thereby increasing time for product delivery.

Sudbury International slide bearing pads use two surfaces with low-friction coefficients, allowing them to slide against each other easily. The contact surfaces in these products are usually constructed out of Teflon or mirror-finish stainless steel. This way, they offer temperature resistance and the proper chemical compatibility on top of a low friction coefficient.

Slide pads can be installed in many different ways. The most common installation procedure is welding; other popular methods include casting in place or mechanical fastening. Sudbury International employs trained and highly skilled staff with versatile abilities to assist customers with any application issues they may have.

There are many different industries that use slide pads. Among the most frequent purchasers of these units from Sudbury International are businesses in the petro-chemical, pulp and paper, smelting, processing, and electrical-utility sectors.
