15068938, 150 689 38 PLATE ( BACKING ) SANDVIK

Overview

The 15068938, 150 689 38 Plate (Backing) Sandvik is a precision-engineered component developed for heavy-duty rock drilling and mining equipment operating under extreme mechanical stress. This backing plate plays a critical structural and protective role within Sandvik drilling systems by distributing load evenly, stabilizing adjacent components, and preventing premature wear caused by vibration, shock loads, and continuous friction.

In high-impact drilling environments, even a seemingly simple component such as a backing plate becomes mission-critical. Incorrect tolerances, poor material quality, or uneven surface finishing can lead to alignment issues, accelerated wear of connected parts, and costly downtime. The 15068938, 150 689 38 Plate (Backing) Sandvik is designed to eliminate these risks by ensuring consistent performance, long service life, and reliable compatibility with original equipment configurations.

As 3GEN Export, we supply this part as an OEM-quality solution, manufactured to match original specifications and performance expectations. We support mining, quarrying, and construction operations worldwide with fast logistics, ensuring global delivery within five working days.

What Is a Backing Plate and Why It Matters

A backing plate is a structural support component installed behind or between moving or load-bearing elements in mechanical assemblies. In rock drilling equipment, backing plates serve several essential purposes:

• Acting as a load-distribution surface to reduce point stress

• Maintaining correct alignment of rotating or sliding components

• Absorbing vibration and impact energy during drilling cycles

• Protecting housings and assemblies from direct metal-to-metal contact

The 15068938, 150 689 38 Plate (Backing) Sandvik is specifically engineered for high-impact drilling environments where repetitive shock loads and continuous rotation are unavoidable. Its geometry, thickness, and surface finish are optimized to support surrounding components without deformation or loss of dimensional accuracy.

Material Engineering and Manufacturing Quality

The performance of the 15068938, 150 689 38 Plate (Backing) Sandvik depends heavily on material selection and manufacturing precision. This component is produced using high-strength alloy steel designed to withstand extreme mechanical loads while maintaining structural integrity over long operating cycles.

Key material characteristics include:

• High resistance to compressive and shear forces

• Excellent fatigue strength under cyclic loading

• Controlled hardness for wear resistance without brittleness

• Stable dimensional behavior under temperature variation

Advanced machining and surface finishing processes ensure that contact surfaces remain smooth and consistent, reducing friction and minimizing micro-abrasion on adjacent components. This attention to detail directly translates into longer service intervals and reduced maintenance costs.
