Wear bars and buttons are armour in strip and stud form: the chocky bars, laminated wear bars and weld-on buttons that protect bucket lips, sides, heel bands and high-wear corners where full plates don't fit and parent steel pays the price. PartsForMachines supplies bars and buttons by pattern and size, alongside the wear plates and the wider GET family.
The formats divide by shape and duty. Chocky bars, the segmented, easily welded strips, armour bucket lips, side faces and leading edges, their segmented backs letting them follow curves that solid bar can't. Laminated and solid wear bars take heavier sliding abrasion on heel bands and floors, and wear buttons, the weld-on studs, dot-protect the spots that wear first, corners, lift points, the local hot-spots a few buttons save. White-iron and through-hard constructions cover the hardness range, with each product page listing pattern, dimensions and material, and Ask Simon answering layout questions against photographs of the wear the bucket is actually showing.
The application logic is targeted: bars and buttons go where the old ones wore, and where shiny parent steel says wear is starting, with welding the usual installation, short runs to the manufacturer's guidance, since white-iron components weld differently from plate. Renewal timing is the GET constant, replaced when consumed, before the structure underneath starts feeding the grinder.
Wear plates, sidecutters and the GET family sit alongside. For pattern and layout advice from photographs, contact the team via WhatsApp 07754288583.
