The document provides detailed specifications for structural aluminum profiles and profile connections. The material used is AIMgSi0.5F25 with a minimum tensile strength of 250N/mm² and a modulus of elasticity of 70,000N/mm². The profiles are anodized with a clear E6/EV1 process, ensuring a layer thickness of 10 µm and a hardness of 300 HV. The profiles maintain parallel section faces within ±0.1mm and have a maximum deviation in straightness of 0.3mm per 300mm.
The document outlines methods for calculating deflection and bending stress in aluminum profiles. The maximum allowable bending stress is 200N/mm², and calculations can be performed using the Moment of Inertia and Section Modulus. Graphical methods are also available for approximate deflection figures. The document provides formulas for deflection under static point loading and the profile's own weight.
Guidance is provided for selecting the correct MCS System profile based on load type and application requirements. The document includes a table of Moment of Inertia, Section Modulus, and Mass for various profile sizes. Different connection methods are discussed, each with varying load-bearing abilities and advantages. A cross-reference chart helps in selecting the appropriate connection method based on criteria like flexibility, adjustability, and cost-effectiveness.
Details on machining profiles for connection methods are provided, with Hepco offering machining services upon request. Assembly hints suggest vertical profiles should run unbroken from bottom to top, with horizontal profiles attached to vertical ones. Various connection components and their load capacities are listed, including brackets and screws.
MCS aluminum profiles can be fitted with Hepco Linear Slide Systems, available as complete units or for self-assembly. These systems use the Hepco 'V' guide principle, suitable for motion guidance in frame construction systems, and can operate with or without lubrication for higher loads and longer life.
The document provides detailed information on Hepco's GV3 and SL2 slide systems, which are designed for high load capacity, long life, and quiet, friction-free motion. These systems are versatile, easy to install, and require little maintenance. They are compatible with MCS profiles and offer various carriage types and slide precision grades to meet different design requirements.
The GV3 system includes six types of carriages and three grades of slide precision, allowing for selection based on cost and performance needs. The SL2 system features stainless steel components for maximum corrosion resistance and an aluminum carriage with USDA-approved surface treatment.
- Standard Carriage: Suitable for general applications.
- Slimline Carriage: Offers reduced system height and lower cost.
- Removable Carriage: Allows direct disengagement from the slide.
- Rack Driven Carriage: Includes a pinion and drive flange for high transmission forces.
- Belt Driven Carriage: Provides a low-cost drive facility with high-speed capability.
The document outlines the method of attaching slides to MCS profiles, emphasizing the importance of selecting the appropriate carriage and slide from the GV3 catalogue. Compatibility tables are provided to assist in selecting the correct MCS profile for mounting.
- Powerslide 2: A high-speed, maintenance-free pneumatic linear system.
- Driven Linear System (DLS): Combines V-guide benefits with a robust belt drive for high-speed applications.
The document provides a detailed procedure for ordering carriages and slides, including part number identification and options selection.
Hepco HTS slides offer smooth motion and low friction, with a range of options for light to heavy-duty applications. They are compatible with MCS profiles and feature a rigid structure for high static capacity.
The RapiLok is a new profile connector for MCS aluminum frames, offering quick and rigid joints without the need for drilling, reducing assembly time and costs.
The document provides detailed information on the RapiLok fastening system, designed for use with Hepco's MCS (Modular Construction System) profiles. It highlights the ease of use, adjustability, and compatibility with various profile sizes.
The RapiLok system includes components such as the RapiLok Screw (M12), Set Screw (M8), and RapiLok Nut. It features serrated faces for enhanced grip and is suitable for applications with additional loads.
Assembly involves tapping one end of the MCS profile, aligning the screw with setting marks for different profile sizes, and securing the profile with an M8 set screw tightened to a maximum of 18Nm.
The document provides load capacity data for different mounting directions, with maximum working loads specified for direct and offset applications.
RapiLok is compatible with Hepco's MCS range and other aluminum frame systems, except for specific MCS slot 10 profiles. It offers anti-rotation benefits and requires minimal machining.
RapiLok fasteners are available in packs of 10, with part number 1-242-5000-10. Assembly instructions are included.
Component files can be downloaded from Hepco's website, and product demos are available online.
