The newly launched, patent-pending Automatic-Fastening Set 8 S from item is an enhanced version of the item Automatic Fastener for aluminium profiles. This new version combines extremely high load-carrying capacity with a time-saving design.
Automatic-Fastening Set 8 S from item exhibits particularly high axial load-carrying capacity. This is thanks to its innovative thread shape, which ensures an even stronger hold in a Line 8 groove. The fastener benefits from exceptionally user-friendly fitting. The integrated captive screw is driven directly into the groove along with the fastener and can be tightened immediately. This saves valuable time, especially with profiles that have closed grooves.
Additional designs for maximum flexibility
Besides the individual Automatic Fastener 8 S, item also offers two other variants that make assembly work even easier. Automatic-Fastening Set 8 S 40 has a T-Slot Nut with two threads and two Automatic Fasteners. As a result, fasteners can be used particularly efficiently in pairs, which makes the process of constructing rooms and stands much faster. Automatic-Fastening Set F 8 S 40, meanwhile, has one T-Slot Nut F with two threads and an additional grub screw. This ensures secure pre-positioning of fixings, while also creating an ESD-safe profile connection by breaking the anodized layer.
Combining high load-carrying capacity with excellent ease of use, the new Automatic Fasteners speed up the entire assembly process. This reliable solution from item is proving ideal for all kinds of engineering tasks.
