Weight Plate Tiguar rubber fractional Olympic 50 mm, 0.5 kg

Tiguar rubber fractional Olympic weight plate with a 50 mm center hole and a mass of 0.5 kg is a compact loading plate intended for fractional increases in resistance on Olympic bars and plate-loaded equipment. The plate has a metal core and a rubber coating that protects flooring, reduces impact noise and limits wear on other equipment contact surfaces. Its small size and precise weight make it suitable for progressive loading, warm-up sets and fine-tuning total load in both home and commercial gym environments.

Advantages

The combination of a metal core and rubber coating delivers durability and surface protection while maintaining a compact form factor for fractional loading. The 50 mm center hole is compatible with standard Olympic bars and many plate-loaded machines, and the 0.5 kg increment enables fine weight adjustments for incremental strength progression. The rubber coating dampens noise and reduces the risk of scratching or chipping on bars, racks and floors.

Suitable for

• Incremental strength progression on Olympic bars
• Warm-up and technique sets requiring small weight changes
• Plate-loaded machines with 50 mm sleeves
• Home gyms where space and flooring protection are priorities

Key specifications

• Weight: 0.5 kg
• Center hole diameter: 50 mm (Olympic standard)
• Construction: metal core with rubber coating
• Shape: compact, fractional plate profile
• Intended use: Olympic bars, plate-loaded machines, fractional loading

How to use

Slide the plate onto a 50 mm Olympic sleeve or the corresponding plate holder on compatible machines. Secure plates as required with collars or locking mechanisms before performing lifts. Use this 0.5 kg fractional plate to make small, controlled increases to total load for progressive training, to balance loading between sides, or to fine-tune resistance during warm-up and technique work.

Usage recommendations

Store plates on a designated rack or vertical holder to avoid floor contact when not in use. Inspect the rubber coating periodically for damage and avoid dropping plates from height to prolong service life. Combine multiple fractional plates when larger increments are needed and always use appropriate collars to secure the load on the bar.
