Ball feet allow machine guards to be floor mounted
The Item adjustable ball foot mounting has been designed for where cell guards or enclosures are floor mounted, rather than fitted to a machine structure, and have to accommodate uneven floors
Rebate profiles help create dirt-tight frameworks
Rebate profiles in the Item range of building components can be used for mounting a wide selection of panel elements.
The conduits comprise a base U profile used in conjunction with a mating lid profile which is simply clipped into position to achieve a positive closure.
For tamper resistant requirements, the closure lid can be screwed securely into position using a self tapping screw which can also be used as an earth connection for the assembly.
The lid profiles feature full length built-in guidelines for accurate positioning of fixing screws.
The base U profiles can be supplied in 30, 40, 60 and 80mm channel widths in a combination of extruded depths to provide conduit enclosure sizes of 30mm width in 15, 30 and 60mm heights, 40mm width in 20, 40 and 80mm heights, 60mm width in 30 and 60mm heights and 80mm width in 40 and 80mm heights.
All these sizes represent the overall outside dimensions of the conduit enclosures with the lid profiles clipped into position.
The profiles are rigid enough to be self supporting, and because they are metal, they also provide electromagnetic shielding.
The base and lid profiles can be supplied in three metre lengths, easily cut to any appropriate size.
They are all aluminium with a natural anodised finish to complement any modern production machine or wiring installation layout. Request a free brochure from Machine Building Systems ...
