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
Three slide guide strips, which are fixed into the longitudinal mounting grooves, are available for use with the Item line-8, Line-6 and Line-5 profile ranges.
Two mounting options are available to suit either a front mounted sliding guard or an internally guided sliding element such as a drawer.
The slide guide strip is manufactured from low friction black polyethelene compound which can be supplied in two metre lengths.
Where required, it can be supplied complete with either the M4 x 16 fixing screws or Item T-slot nuts.
The slide guide strip is then provided with either pre-tapped or through bore holes respectively, located on standard 40mm centres.
The slide guide strip is manufactured with an offset which ensures a working clearance between frames to prevent interference fit or collision between the fixed and sliding frame elements. Request a free brochure from Machine Building Systems ...
