item machine accessories for profile structures

What do item machine accessories include?

Machine accessories add everyday mechanical engineering functions to frames, enclosures and fixtures built from item aluminium profiles. They include pneumatic connection plates and fittings that let you use the profile core as a compressed air line or reservoir, plus damping and protective elements for moving assemblies.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use an item profile as a compressed air line?

Yes. With pneumatic connection plates or fittings and matching seals, the core of suitable profiles can carry compressed air. Make sure the cross-section matches.

How do stop buffers and parabolic springs differ?

Both cushion impacts. Thanks to their shape, parabolic springs have a progressive spring rate and suit softer end stops.

How are protective profiles supplied?

Protective and stop profiles come in 2000 mm lengths and can be shortened to the length you need.
