PARTS FOR TUBES, LINEAR UNITS AND BEAMS
FAQ - Components for Tubes, Linear Units, and Beams
Why assemble tubes with fittings rather than welding them ?
Because the assembly process requires no welding shop, no hot-work permit, and no post-assembly surface treatment. The structure is assembled with a wrench, remains disassemblable, and can be modified without causing damage. It is also the only realistic option for working in ATEX zones or in production environments.
What is a clamping bracket ?
It is a component that clamps onto the flange of a steel beam to secure a part without drilling or welding. It preserves the structural integrity of the beam rilling reduces its load-bearing cross-section nd allows the fastener to be repositioned if necessary.
Can tubes of different diameters be assembled ?
Yes, depending on the connectors chosen. Some connectors accommodate two diameters, while others require a single diameter. Compatibility must be verified before assembling the structure, as the connector must grip the tube with the correct clearance to ensure mechanical strength.
What are tubular linear units used for ?
To create guided linear motion on a tubular structure: a sliding carriage, an extending arm, or a positioning table. They eliminate the need to design a custom guidance system, which is often time-consuming and costly to develop.
