Product catalog summary
Introduction
HepcoMotion® RapiLok is a new profile connector designed for use with the MCS aluminium frame and machine construction system. It provides a quick and rigid joint for profiles mounted at right angles, offering significant benefits over alternative connections.
Specifications
RapiLok is a no-drill connector requiring no machining, with only one profile needing to be tapped. This reduces costs and assembly time. The connector is designed for Hepco MCS slot 10 profiles and ensures an anti-rotation joint suitable for twisting loads. Assembly is quick, using a single hexagon key, and the serrated nut faces grip the smooth profile faces, ideal for additional load applications.
Assembly Procedure
1. Tap one end of the MCS profile M12 x 1.75 x 25mm deep.
2. Assemble the screw into the nut and screw into the tapped profile.
3. Slide the profile over the nut and tighten the M8 set screw to 18Nm max.
RapiLok screws have setting marks for different profile sizes, ensuring correct alignment.
Capacity and Load
RapiLok can handle direct loads up to 2170N and twisting loads up to 14Nm, depending on the mounting direction and profile size.
Compatibility and Limitations
RapiLok is compatible with Hepco’s MCS range and other aluminium frame systems where dimensions allow. It is not compatible with certain MCS slot 10 profiles, including 45x60, 60x60, and 90x90.
Ordering Information
RapiLok fasteners are supplied in packs of 10 with assembly instructions. Order using part number 1-242-5000-10.
Certification
HepcoMotion is ISO 9001 certified by Bureau Veritas.

MCS – RapiLok-1

This data sheet interacts with MCS - RapiLok HepcoMotion® RapiLok is a new style of profile connector for use with the MCS aluminium frame and machine construction system, and provides a quick and rigid joint. Designed for use with Hepco MCS slot 10 profiles*1, to secure two sections of profile mounted at right angles, RapiLok has significant benefits over alternative profile connections. RapiLok is a no-drill connector, profiles require no machining, and only one profile needs to be tapped, significantly reducing costs, and avoids fiddly assembly associated with brackets, reducing assembly time. The design of RapiLok ensures that the resulting joint is anti-rotation, and therefore suitable for twisting loads. Assembly is carried out using a single hexagon key, and takes a matter of seconds. Serrated faces on the underside of the nut, grip onto the smooth faces on the MCS profiles, making it the ideal choice in applications where additional loads are applied. RapiLok is easily adjustable, can be used in multiple orientations, and leaves profile T-slots free for panels etc. Visit www.HepcoMotion.com/MCSdatauk and select RapiLok to view a product demo or contact our sales department for a RapiLok sample.

MCS - RapiLok Data and Dimensions 29.2 RapiLok Assembly 4.1 RapiLok has been designed to suit Hepco’s own MCS range, but can be used with alternative aluminium frame building systems, where 18.3 dimensions allow. Note the orientation of the nut, and assemble the screw into the nut. Screw into the tapped profile. The RapiLok screw has two setting marks, as shown above. The first line is for size 40 & 80 family profiles, and the second for 45 & 90 family profiles. Depending on which size profile is to be connected, position the screw so that the corresponding mark is lined up with the profile edge....
