This specific version features mounting holes with an M10 thread. The pad dimensions are 200x110 mm with a thickness of 17 mm and a hole spacing of 100 mm.
By choosing VICORTEX products, you rely on quality and reliability crucial for your machines. Created for demanding conditions, they offer excellent durability, minimizing failure risks and costly downtime.
| Brand | Machine Type | Models |
|---|---|---|
| Caterpillar (CAT) | Backhoe Loaders | 416B, 416C, 426B, 426C, 428B, 428C, 436C, 438B, 438C, 446B |
The list above is for reference. It is crucial to verify the thread size (M10) on your machine.
To install this pad, you will need 2 bolts with M10 threads. We also recommend replacing other slide pads in the arm and using appropriate telescopic boom grease.
Operating with worn slide pads leads to excessive play in the telescopic arm. This causes imprecise bucket movements, jerking during extension, and in extreme cases, direct metal-on-metal contact between arm sections. This leads to irreversible and very costly damage to the machine's structure.
The 9R8231 slide pad is a large, rectangular friction plate in the telescopic excavator arm. It allows smooth movement of the inner section relative to the outer section, absorbing the main pressure forces during operation.

The only difference is the diameter of the threaded holes. This product has an M10 thread, while the other version has M12. You must match the pad to the bolts used in your machine.
The 100 mm spacing is measured from the center of one hole to the center of the adjacent hole.
