Adapter sleeve for aluminium tube connectors
In industry, Lean applications like transport trolleys, in-line workstations and the like are often built on the basis of 28 mm tubes and corresponding sheet metal connectors. The new reduction sleeves from RK Rose+Krieger now allow these lightweight systems to be easily extended with the aluminium clamp connectors and tubes from the RK Rose+Krieger Solid Clamps system.
The adapter sleeve makes it easy to combine Systems
Lightweight systems using sheet metal connectors are comparatively cheap and therefore widely available on the market. They are often suitable for applications where stability and load-bearing capacity requirements are not very high. In cases where such requirements are high, however, selective reinforcements are required at individual connections or entire constructions must be fitted with sturdier elements, like the modules available in the Solid Clamp system from RK Rose+Krieger. Up until now, it was not possible to combine the two systems. But thanks to the new adapter sleeves, users can now connect up 28 mm lightweight systems that use sheet metal connectors and Solid Clamps from RK Rose+Krieger. The reducing bushes are very easy to mount and have axial and rotation locking.
This alternative gives the user the benefit of the considerably greater variety that the Solid Clamps system from RK Rose+Krieger offers. More than 170 basic types are currently available in more than 400 different variations. The selection of variants, clamp diameters and range of combinations is vast.
