Connecting aluminium profile rail sections

In the following steps, the crane girder of the EHB-I is pre-installed on the ground.

 

Profile joint

The connected profile rail sections must be able to be raised and brought underneath the suspensions safely and without posing additional hazards.

 

Baugröße

The figures show the installation of an aluminium HB profile rail of size HB150A. The installation of larger or smaller HB profile rails does not differ significantly from this.

 

 

Laying out the profile rail sections

*    The profile rail sections must be laid out on the building floor the way they are to be later installed.

Planungsunterlagen

The position of the profile rail sections is specified in the planning documents.

The specified dimensions, positions and clearances must be followed exactly.

 

 

Removing the protective film

The profile rail sections are laminated at the sides. The protective film is removed before further assembly.

 

 

Protective film

*    Pull off the protective film at a sharp angle from the side lamination.

 

 

Inserting head nuts

 

Head nut

*    Insert two head nuts each in the left and right profile rail sections.

*    Lay the profile rail sections to one another.

The profile rail sections can be directly flush to one another. The must not be more than 2 mm apart.

 

 

Only with a crane girder suspension in the area of a profile joint

This work step only applies if a crane girder suspension is intended in the area of the clamping plates on a profile joint.

 

Aligning the crane girder suspension

The crane girder suspension can also be installed in the area of a profile joint. To do this, the profile connection must first be pushed precisely to the position at which it will later be screwed tight.

 

 

Profile connection

*    Push the profile connection to its intended position.

Once the clamping plate has been installed in the next step, the profile connection can no longer be shifted.

 

 

 

Inserting the clamping plate

Clamping plates

 

*    Tilt the clamping plate slightly and insert it below in the profile rail section.

When doing this, insert the bottom of the clamping plate behind the edge on the profile rail section.

*    Position the clamping plate so that it is exactly centred between the two profile rail sections.

*    Press the clamping plate together at the top.

●   At the bottom the clamping plate presses from the inside against the edge of the profile rail section.

 

 

Only with a crane girder suspension in the area of a profile joint

This work step only applies if a crane girder suspension is intended in the area of the clamping plates on a profile joint.

 

Sliding the clamping plate

Only with a crane girder suspension in the area of a profile joint: The clamping plates do not need to be inserted exactly centred on the profile joint. The clamping plates may be shifted up to 100 mm to the left or right so that the crane girder suspension can lie at the exactly desired position.

 

Note:

For a profile joint without a crane girder suspension, the clamping plates must be installed exactly centred!

 

*    Only with a crane girder suspension in the area of a profile joint: The clamping plates can be shifted up to 100 mm.

 

 

 

 

Pressing the clamping plates together

*    Check the spacing of the profile rail sections again.

The profile rail sections can be directly flush to one another. The must not be more than 2 mm apart.

 

 

Assembly aid

 

*    Press the clamping plates together to such an extent that the assembly aid can be set in place.

*    Place the assembly aid on the clamping plate.

The assembly aid can be obtained from ABUS Service. AN 316469.

Alternatively, a screw clamp with suitable base (e.g. rubber mat) can be used.

*    Screw the assembly aids together until the clamping plates can clearly be heard to latch into place at the sides.

The clamping plates must be clearly heard to latch in place on both sides and at both profile rail sections.

If necessary: use the assembly aid to press the clamping plates together at the other end as well until they can clearly be heard to latch into place.

 

 

Screwing the clamping plates tight

At all four head nuts:

Rib screw M12x50

Metal plate

 

Head nut

*    Position the head nut until it is exactly underneath the clamping plate bracket.

*    Place the plate on the drilled holes in the clamping plate.

*    Insert the rib screws M12x50 (2x per profile holder) through the plate and the clamping plate and screw into the head nut.

*    Screw in the rib screws. 130 Nm.

This work step only applies if a crane girder suspension is intended in the area of the clamping plates on a profile joint.

 

Screwing the profile connection tight

*    Screw in the rib screws of the profile connection on the clamping plate (2x).
