Variofix snap-in clip
The Variofix block holds panels and sheets up to 13 mm in the profile frame, even when fitted afterwards. To lock it you have two options: screw and square nut, or this hook-in bracket, which holds it with a snap fit and no screws. It is the same for slot C8 and C10, and it is removed with the Variofix remover.
Why choose it
Locking without a screw
Holds the Variofix block with a snap fit.
One for two slots
Same bracket for slot C8 and C10.
Removed with the extractor
The Variofix remover pulls it out even where space is tight.

The bracket locks the Variofix with a snap fit, without tools. Alternatively, you fix it with an M6 screw and square nut: in that case the retaining ring keeps the screw attached to the panel, as required by the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
No. The extractor is for the hook-in bracket; if you locked the Variofix with screw and square nut, just unscrew it.
With the Variofix remover: push it over the clip, it spreads the teeth and you pull it out together with the block.
It is the width of the profile slot and determines which accessories you use. Slot C6 (6 mm) is for 20 series profiles, C8 (8 mm) for the 30 series, C10 (10 mm) for profiles from the 40 series upwards. Nuts, screws, brackets and cover caps are chosen by slot: each accessory's product page shows the right one.
Yes. You can order the full bar or the piece cut to the length you need: we do the cutting ourselves, in our workshop. Each profile's product page shows the maximum bar length and the minimum cut length.
Look at the moments of inertia Ix and Iy: the higher they are, the less the profile deflects under load. For the same section, “L” profiles are lightened and deflect a little more. For long spans or high loads move to a larger section or a tall profile (e.g. 45x90 instead of 45x45). If you send us drawing and loads, we will check the choice.
The T-nut is inserted from the front into the slot, even in an assembled structure, and positions itself when you tighten the screw: it is the standard choice for fixing accessories. The sliding block withstands higher forces, but normally has to be inserted from the profile end before closing the frame; spring versions stay where you put them.
The simplest way is the bracket, which joins two profiles at 90° with screws and nuts in the slot, without machining. For end, T, 45° or three-way connections there are dedicated connectors, some of which require profile machining as stated on their product page.
Yes, for several accessories (for example cover caps, hinges and nuts) there are conductive ESD versions, indicated in the name or variant. Tell us which EPA area you work in and we will confirm the components to use.
On each product page you will find the MGE catalogue pages to download as PDF, with dimensioned drawings and technical data; the Specifications tab shows the data for the variant you have chosen.
Yes. Send us the parts list or a sketch with dimensions: we give you codes, quantities and cut lengths and prepare the kit with profiles already cut and the accessories.
