Sliddele

Sliddele is a Danish term used in mechanical engineering and maintenance to refer to wear parts or consumables—components that are subject to wear during operation and require periodic replacement to maintain equipment performance. The concept is widely used in asset management and production maintenance, and it encompasses parts designed to wear out rather than fail catastrophically. Sliddele life varies with load, speed, temperature, lubrication, and duty cycle.

Common examples include:

- bearings and bushings

- seals and gaskets

- gears and racks

- wear plates and sliding surfaces

- cutting inserts and drill tips

- belts, chains, and drive components

- filters and screens

- grinding and cutting tools

In practice, sliddele are selected based on manufacturer specifications, historical wear data, and operating conditions, and are managed through spare parts catalogs and maintenance management systems. Regular monitoring, condition-based replacement, and standardized procurement help minimize downtime and optimize total cost of ownership. The term is most commonly used in Danish industrial contexts, but similar concepts exist in other languages under different terms.
