Sluttplater

Sluttplater, a Swedish term roughly translating to "end plates" or "stop plates," are typically small, flat metal components used in various construction and assembly applications. Their primary function is to act as a physical barrier, preventing movement or providing a stop point for other elements.

In woodworking and furniture construction, sluttplater can be found reinforcing joints. They might be screwed or bolted onto the juncture of two pieces of wood to add rigidity and prevent them from separating or shifting under stress. This is particularly common in heavier furniture or structural elements where stability is crucial.

In the context of metal fabrication or machinery, sluttplater serve a similar purpose. They can be used as end stops on sliding mechanisms, linear rails, or conveyor systems to define the limits of travel. They can also be incorporated into brackets or mounting systems to provide a precise resting or stopping surface for an attached component. The material and thickness of the sluttplate are chosen based on the expected load and the environment in which it will be used. While often made of steel or aluminum, other metals may be employed depending on specific requirements for corrosion resistance or strength.
