3026332, 302-6332 Plate Caterpillar

Description

The Caterpillar 3026332 plate (also written 302-6332) is a flat steel plate used as a wear surface, guide, shim base or mounting face. It weighs 1.28 kg. What it does on the machine Wear and guide plates take the sliding contact so the structure behind them does not. Mounting plates spread bolt loads over a wider area. In both jobs the plate is the sacrificial part, and the frame is what you are protecting. Signs it needs replacing The section has worn thin from sliding contact. Trapped debris has gouged or deformed the surface. The bolt holes have elongated or worn, and the fasteners work loose. Cracks have started at a weld or along an edge. Measure the remaining thickness at each service and keep the fasteners torqued. Replace the plate before the wear moves into the parent structure, because repairing a worn frame costs far more than a plate. Check your old plate against the number before ordering. If you are unsure, send us the machine's serial number and we will help confirm the match.
