POM rotary head sliding pads: replacement measurements
Rotary head sliding pads provide a replaceable sliding interface in the drilling rig assembly. The listed material is POM, also called polyoxymethylene or acetal. The correct replacement depends on the pad geometry and operating arrangement, not simply on selecting a plastic with a similar color.
Rotary Head Plastic Sliding Pads

How to specify the right configuration
Record length, width, thickness, hole positions, recesses and any shaped edges from a drawing or reference sample. Note orientation and the number of pads in the assembly. Confirm the actual material grade and dimensional tolerances during technical review; no universal temperature or load limit is specified here.
Catalog specifications and listed options
Rotary head plastic sliding pads made from POM (polyoxymethylene), supplied in customer-requested sizes to match the drilling rig. Send the rig make and model, pad length, width, thickness, mounting-hole positions, and a drawing or sample to confirm the required configuration.

Assembly review and inspection
Supply the rig make and model and photos of both the pad and its mating surface. Uneven wear may also involve alignment or damage elsewhere in the assembly. Installation clearances and fastening requirements should follow the rig's approved documentation.
How do I specify a replacement sliding pad?
The listed pads are POM. Send the rig model, length, width, thickness and mounting-hole positions, with a drawing or sample; dimensions are customer-requested.
Preparing a quotation request in Saudi Arabia
- Identify the rig model, product, quantity and application; include the ground profile when specifying a cutting tool.
- Send a dimensioned drawing or clearly scaled photos. Identify mating components and distinguish measured dimensions from estimates.
- State the delivery city, required date and project documentation requirements. Confirm the included components before ordering.
