What are wearing parts?
Wearing parts are any components that are subject to daily wear and tear due to mechanical stress. When the component is worn out it shows in cracks, indentations, holes or material breakage.
These components are often made from metals with a higher hardness rating but sooner or later abrasion occurs on any metal. The complete replacement of wearing parts will be required eventually.
The shutdown of machines is often associated with high financial expense. In order to save costs, these machines are kept in operation by replacing only a single worn component before failure. Some companies keep a spare part and will replace components after a set amount of time or from regular visual inspections. These parts which have to be replaced are generally called wear / wearing parts.
