GF-G profile with C10 slot

With a T-nut: slide it into the slot, position the component and tighten the screw. You can move it along the profile whenever you like, without drilling.

Yes, with the GF-G C10 connector kit for SF profile (GFA-609): it joins the slotted pipe to the square profiles of the SF series.

Only slightly: over a 1000 mm span, with the load at mid-span and 5 mm of deflection, it takes 972 N with the slot on the side and 875 N with the slot underneath. The standard GF-G takes 851 N.

The slot is the same 10 mm, the pipe is not: the GF-G C10 is Ø 43, weighs 0.98 kg/m and over 1000 mm takes 875–972 N at mid-span; the GF-N C10 is Ø 28, weighs 0.68 kg/m and takes 200–334 N.

GF-G series connectors, tightened with an M8 screw. We will confirm the models suited to the slotted profile when we prepare the component list.

The dedicated inner end cap GFA-409, made for the slotted section. The standard GF-G end cap is not suitable for this profile.

The GF-G profile is the basic Ø 43 pipe. The one with C10 slot adds a slot for T-nuts and the connection to SF square profiles. The Hard has a thick wall, about twice the bending resistance, for joints that take impacts. The GF-G W joins two Ø 43 pipes and is the cross member for high loads; the P150 is a 193 mm high twin beam for large spans, work enclosures and gantries.

The GF-N Ø 28 is the standard for workstations, flow racks and trolleys. The GF-S Ø 19 weighs about half as much (0.20 kg/m versus 0.37) and is for light frames, dividers, guards and small mechanisms. The GF-G Ø 43 is for uprights and cross members that have to carry a lot: over a 1000 mm span it supports 851 N at the centre versus 195 N for the GF-N, for the same deflection. It is often worth mixing them, for example GF-G uprights and GF-N cross members joined by mixed connectors.

Yes. Green Frame profiles can be ordered as 4000 mm bars or cut to the length you need: we do the cutting ourselves, in our workshop. Give us the dimensions of the pieces or send us a sketch of the structure and we will prepare the cutting list.

Yes. The standard series is GF-N (Ø 28 mm pipe); GF-S (Ø 19 mm) is lighter and more compact, GF-G (Ø 43 mm) is for stiffer structures. There are mixed connectors that join pipes from different series, for example a Ø 19 or Ø 43 pipe to a Ø 28 pipe, so you use the right diameter at every point of the structure.

No. The connectors are fixed to the pipe with hex socket screws: a hex key is all you need. Loosen the screw, insert the pipe, bring it into position and tighten. No welding, drilling or painting.

Yes, it is the strength of the pipe system: loosen the connectors, move or replace the pipes and retighten. You can raise a shelf, extend a workbench or reuse the components in another structure when the process changes, with continuous improvement in mind.

Yes. We can design the structure (workstation, flow rack, trolley, line-side supermarket) with the load calculation and deliver it to you assembled or as a kit with the parts already cut and the list of components.

No. Profiles and connectors are in anodised aluminium: the surface resists corrosion and wear without painting and is easy to clean.

Yes. The range includes conductive components such as ESD inner end caps, ESD clips for electrical continuity between pipe and connector, and ESD inserts for levelling feet and castors. Tell us which EPA area you work in and we will tell you the components to use.
