HB500 V-Profile Wear Bars
V-profile wear bars, also known as Half Arrow Profiles, are weld-on wear protection profiles used on buckets, excavator buckets and other ground-engaging attachments.
The V-shaped profile geometry provides additional protection for heavily exposed edges and wear zones. These profiles are commonly used where additional wear protection, reinforcement or controlled material flow is required.

Weld-On Wear Protection Profiles
V-profile wear bars are used wherever buckets, excavator buckets and attachments are exposed to continuous abrasive wear. The profiles are welded onto selected areas to provide additional protection for edges, side sections, base edges and local wear zones.
The parent category Cutting Edges, Wear Bars & Profiles includes weld-on cutting edges, bolt-on cutting edges, grader blades, wear profiles and additional wear protection components for construction equipment.
Half Arrow Profiles for Buckets and Excavator Buckets
Half Arrow Profiles are commonly used to protect base edges, side sections and local wear zones on buckets and excavator buckets. Depending on their installation position, the profile shape can support material flow while providing additional wear protection in heavily exposed areas.
Selection should not be based on profile size alone. Application type, component geometry, wear pattern, welding position and the desired protection effect should also be considered.
Available Sizes and Lengths
This category includes HB500 V-profile wear bars in the sizes 101×11 mm, 151×16 mm, 203×19 mm and 254×40 mm.
Depending on the profile size, products are available in 3 m and 6 m bar lengths. This allows different repair, reinforcement and wear protection requirements to be covered.
Difference Between V-Profiles, Cutting Edges and Wear Protection Bars
If a primary cutting edge needs to be repaired or replaced, the appropriate categories are Wear Bars & Cutting Edges and Wear Bars & Cutting Edges Cut to Size.
Armor Steel Wear Protection Bars are primarily used for local surface protection. V-profile wear bars occupy a position between cutting edges and surface protection systems: they protect edges and transition zones, can assist material flow and reinforce heavily exposed areas.
Typical Applications
V-profile wear bars are commonly used on loader buckets, excavator buckets, bucket side walls, base edges and other ground-engaging attachments. They are particularly suitable where wear occurs not only on the cutting edge but also in adjacent edge and transition areas.
Check Before Welding
Before installation, the wear pattern, component geometry, material flow, welding position and available mounting surface should be evaluated. The profile should be positioned so that the protected area receives additional wear protection without negatively affecting attachment performance.
