What Is a Mount Plate?
A mount plate is an essential industrial component, typically used as a foundational base for attaching various devices like power distribution panels, electricity meters, and other measurement meters.
These plates are available in materials like plastic resin or metals, including stainless steel, and are often manufactured through mold processing.
In DIY and commercial settings, mount plates, sometimes known as mounting boards, are installed on poles or walls to anchor daily-use or commercial products, serving as a stable base for equipment installation.
Uses of Mount Plate
Mount plates are widely used to securely install and stabilize equipment such as switchboards, power calculation boxes, switches, various metering devices, measuring instruments, and other measuring equipment.
An example of their application is inside arcade game machines, where they protect and stabilize equipment measuring and displaying the punching force. This ensures accurate measurement and maintains the equipment’s stability during instantaneous impacts.
Generally, mount plates enhance the installation strength and stability of precision measuring equipment and force transmission devices.
Principle of Mount Plate
Mount plates are made from durable materials like stainless steel and other metals, chosen for their resilience to temperature, humidity, and impact. Some designs include a box-type structure, which acts as both a pedestal and a protective enclosure for measuring instruments.
For indoor or outdoor use, mount plates are often crafted from resin materials, ranging from standard plastic with a flat mesh finish to reinforced plastics.
These plates are used to secure and protect switches, breakers, and other power distribution meters. They also serve aesthetic purposes in interiors and can be mounted on poles to conceal cables like VF and VA wires.
