A sole plate in use for turbine capable of realizing a smooth sliding on a gland
pad used in the mounting portion of power generating plant equipment, effectively
suppressing a variation in the alignment of a rotating shaft by a reaction due
to thermal expansion and the thrust of a gas turbine, and eliminating a regular
maintenance such as filing of lubricating oil, and disposed between the gland pad
installed on a base and a turbine support part, comprising a sole plate body made
of a metal material disposed on the turbine support part sole and a sliding member
made of a material with self-lubricity formed on the surface of the sole plate
body on the gland pad side.
