Folded Steel Foot for Profile Frames

Machine Building Systems has announced the
addition of a stable, strong and inexpensive steel foot
into the Item MB building kit system. The
foot is of 4mm thick steel, folded to make it an
L-section as viewed from the side. It has two 18mm
diameter holes 200mm apart in the base of the L in order
to fix it to the floor, the size of the hole ensuring
that the floor may be drilled and bolts inserted,
without having to move the frame to which the foot is
attached first.

Several holes and a slot are provided in the 160mm
vertical plane of the foot, which then allow fastening
to a wide range of profiles - the purpose of the slot
being both to permit up to 5 degrees of angular
adjustment of the stand profile to accommodate uneven
floors, and to absorb much of the force of any impact
without resulting in the failure of the foot. It is
expected that this foot will find applications in the
construction of cell guarding and partitions, where the
firm foundation of the foot at 240mm wide will provide
good resistance to lateral forces at low cost. |
