Machinery Metal Rating Plates
Rating plates mounted with rivets or screws for machinery housings, holding model and serial data through vibration.
Description
Machinery housings vibrate, so the rating plate needs a mount that won’t loosen over time. Rivets and screws hold the plate through daily use, more securely than adhesive on some surfaces. Himgo builds this plate for machinery ID where fastening matters as much as the printed data.
Metals & surface options
Stainless 304/316 or aluminum 5052/6061 both handle repeated vibration and cleaning. Brushed finish (Ra 0.4-1.2 micron) resists scuffing near moving parts. Mounting holes are sized for rivets or screws per your bracket spec. Etched or stamped data holds depth even after years of handling.
Typical projects
- Gearbox and motor housing ID plates
- Machine-frame plates listing model and serial data
- Panels fastened through vibration-prone equipment
- Plates combined with rivet or screw mounting holes
