The die-cast aluminium
Ball Joint comprises a Socket which comes in two halves,
and two Ball Ends which are clamped at each end of the
Socket. The Ball Joint serves two purposes:
- Flexible mounting of lightweight parts. The ball
joint allows 360°x180° adjustment so is ideal for
positioning cameras, scanners, lights, display
panels or any other product that may need re-setting
at some stage.
A version with a clamping-handle is available where
regular resetting is envisaged.
- Diagonal bracing. The ball and socket construction allows bracing
struts to be added retrospectively where triangulation
is required to improve rigidity. In particular, the Ball
Joint allows the user to brace parallel, perpendicular
or oblique profile faces at any angle where previously a
combination of several parts may have been required.
The Ball Ends are available in two versions. You can
chose between 40x40mm square or 40mm diameter flange for
connecting to either regular, or
round profiles, which
may be required for aesthetic reasons.
No machining is necessary when fixing to the side
faces of Item aluminium profiles. Simply use a standard
M8 T-slot nut which can be fitted anywhere along the
length of the groove or, if it is required to attach to the end face, then all
that is required it to tap the core bore with a standard
M8 tap. |
