Component Specifications

Definition
The carriage plate is a precision-engineered flat or contoured plate that serves as the foundational mounting platform for components in carriage or flying frame systems. It facilitates controlled linear motion along rails or guides while maintaining structural integrity under operational loads. This component ensures proper alignment, reduces vibration transmission, and provides attachment points for other machine elements.
Working Principle
The carriage plate operates on the principle of providing a rigid, low-friction interface between stationary and moving machine elements. It distributes operational forces evenly across its surface, maintains geometric stability during motion, and minimizes deflection through optimized material distribution and mounting configurations. Linear motion is achieved through integrated guide systems (rails, bearings) while the plate maintains component positioning.
Materials
Typically manufactured from carbon steel (AISI 1045, 4140), stainless steel (304, 316), aluminum alloys (6061-T6), or engineered plastics (POM, PTFE composites). Material selection depends on load requirements, corrosion resistance, weight considerations, and thermal stability.
Technical Parameters
  • Hardness HRC 30-45 (steel)
  • Thickness 10-50 mm
  • Surface Finish Ra 1.6-3.2 μm
  • Flatness Tolerance ±0.05-0.2 mm/m
  • Mounting Hole Pattern Grid or custom configuration
Standards
ISO 2768, DIN 875, ISO 1302
