Catalog excerpts

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.

The first line is for size 40 & 80 family profiles, and the second for 45 & 90 family profiles.
