Abstract
A wear pad system includes a wear pad having a contact surface that contacts a corresponding contact surface of a first object. The wear pad system further includes an adjustment cap having a threaded outer surface and a boss member, having a threaded inner surface, such that the boss member is positioned on a second object and configured to guide the wear pad along a path toward the corresponding contact surface of the first object. Furthermore, the second object moves relative to the first object, the threaded outer surface of the adjustment cap engages the threaded inner surface of the boss member, and the adjustment cap is urges the contact surface of the wear pad into contact with the corresponding contact surface of the first object in response to rotation of the adjustment cap relative to the boss member.
