Structural composition

Sliding surface: This is the core part of the sliding bracket, usually made of materials with a small coefficient of friction, such as polytetrafluoroethylene plate, stainless steel plate, etc., and direct contact with the pipe surface, so that the pipe can slide freely on the bracket.

Support structure: Generally welded or bolted by section steel (such as channel steel, I-steel, etc.), used to support the weight of the pipeline and provide the installation base for the sliding surface.

Limiting device: Some sliding brackets will be equipped with limiting devices, such as stoppers, limiting plates, etc., to limit the displacement range of the pipeline during the sliding process to prevent the pipeline from exceeding the design allowed movement distance.

Fixed parts: including bolts, nuts, washers, etc., used to fix the sliding support to the foundation or building structure to ensure the stability of the support.

Working principle

Sliding function realization: Using the low friction characteristics between the sliding surface and the pipeline, when the pipeline due to temperature changes, media flow and other factors produce thermal expansion or contraction or other displacement, the pipeline can be freely axial or radial sliding on the sliding surface, so as to release the stress inside the pipeline and avoid damage caused by stress concentration.

Load transfer: In the process of pipeline sliding, the support structure of the sliding bracket transfers the weight of the pipeline and other loads borne by the pipeline (such as the weight of the medium, the thrust generated by the pressure, etc.) to the foundation or building structure to ensure the stability and safety of the pipeline system.

Peculiarity

Adapt to pipeline displacement: It can well adapt to the displacement changes of the pipeline during the operation, such as thermal expansion and cold contraction, so that the pipeline can move freely within a certain range, effectively protecting the integrity of the pipeline system.

Reduce friction: Due to the use of sliding materials with low friction coefficient, the friction between the pipeline and the support is greatly reduced, reducing the resistance during the operation of the pipeline, which is conducive to saving energy and reducing the wear of the pipeline.

Flexible installation: The installation of the sliding bracket is relatively simple, does not require complex construction technology, and can flexibly choose the installation position and method according to the layout and actual needs of the pipeline.

Easy maintenance: During the operation of the pipeline system, the maintenance workload of the sliding bracket is small, only need to regularly check the wear of the sliding surface and the effectiveness of the limiting device, and replace or adjust in time if there is a problem.
