Component Specifications

Definition
The side plate/housing is a critical structural component in precision slitting heads, serving as the primary framework that maintains dimensional stability, supports rotating shafts and bearings, ensures proper alignment of cutting blades, and protects internal mechanisms from contamination and mechanical damage during high-speed material processing operations.
Working Principle
Functions as a rigid structural enclosure that maintains geometric tolerances under operational loads, dissipates vibration and thermal stresses, provides mounting surfaces for bearings and blade assemblies, and ensures consistent blade gap alignment through precise machining and material stability.
Materials
Typically manufactured from high-strength aluminum alloys (e.g., 6061-T6, 7075-T6) or pre-hardened steel (e.g., 4140, 4340) with hardness ratings of 28-32 HRC for steel variants; surface treatments may include anodizing (for aluminum) or nitriding/chromium plating (for steel) to enhance wear and corrosion resistance.
Technical Parameters
  • Weight Capacity ≥500 kg static load
  • Surface Roughness Ra 0.8-1.6 μm
  • Flatness Tolerance ≤0.02 mm/m
  • Dimensional Stability ≤0.005 mm/°C thermal expansion
  • Parallelism Tolerance ≤0.01 mm
  • Mounting Hole Precision H7 tolerance
Standards
ISO 2768, DIN 7168, ISO 1302
