The Saddle Plate provides a secure attachment to the press base with standard saddle bolts and wedge bars. Its function is to support the equipment during maintenance and service operations. A removable wear plate is integrated into the side of the saddle to protect the bushings from gouging, which occurs when servicing link assemblies. This plate absorbs impact and wear, preventing damage to internal parts of the equipment and extending the overall lifespan of the equipment. By using the saddle plate with the wear plate, maintenance becomes more efficient, reducing the likelihood of component damage during service. Attributes:• Secures to the press base using standard saddle bolts and wedge bars.• Facilitates quick and easy attachment and removal of the wear plate.• Offers compatibility with standard press setup for easy integration.• Minimizes the need for frequent replacements of link assembly components.Applications: The Saddle Plate is attached securely to the press base to protect bushings from gouging during the servicing of link assemblies, ensuring effective maintenance and reducing downtime.
