Slotted channels, also known as slotted angles, are versatile structural components widely used in various industrial and construction applications. They consist of perforated steel sections with parallel slots that allow for the easy assembly and disassembly of modular structures. The size of these slots is crucial for ensuring proper fit, strength, and functionality.
Slotted channels come in various sizes, each designed for specific load-bearing capacities and applications. The most common sizes include:
Selecting the appropriate slotted channel size is essential to ensure the structural integrity and functionality of your project. Consider the following factors:
Table 1: Standard Slotted Channel Sizes
Width (mm) | Depth (mm) | Slot Pitch (mm) |
---|---|---|
19 | 25 | 12.7 |
25 | 38 | 19.05 |
32 | 50 | 25.4 |
41 | 63 | 25.4 |
50 | 76 | 25.4 |
Table 2: Load Capacities for Slotted Channels (kg/m)
Channel Size | Span Length (m) | Load Capacity |
---|---|---|
19mm x 25mm | 0.5 | 125 |
25mm x 38mm | 1.0 | 250 |
32mm x 50mm | 1.5 | 375 |
41mm x 63mm | 2.0 | 500 |
50mm x 76mm | 2.5 | 625 |
Table 3: Slotted Channel Slot Pitches
Slot Pitch (mm) | Support Capacity | Rigidity |
---|---|---|
12.7 | Increased | Increased |
19.05 | Moderate | Moderate |
25.4 | Decreased | Decreased |
Q: What is the maximum weight that a slotted channel can support?
A: The maximum weight depends on the channel size, span length, and material thickness. Consult load capacity tables or consult with experts for specific values.
Q: How do I calculate the span length for a slotted channel?
A: Measure the distance between the supports where the channel will be installed.
Q: What type of bolts should I use with slotted channels?
A: Use bolts with a diameter slightly smaller than the slot width.
Q: How do I prevent slotted channels from rusting?
A: Apply a protective coating, such as paint or zinc plating, to exposed surfaces.
Q: What are the advantages of using slotted channels?
A: Slotted channels offer versatility, ease of assembly, and adaptability to various applications.
Q: What are slotted channels typically used for?
A: Slotted channels are commonly used in building frames, storage systems, conveyors, and machine guards.
