Standard sliding block - nut for strut profile slot C6, C8, C10
When a connection must withstand high forces, the sliding block is the right profile nut: it bears on a wide surface under the slot lips and distributes the load better than the T-nut. Slide it in from the profile end before closing the frame and move it to the mounting point. It is the original Bosch Rexroth component, in zinc-plated or stainless steel.
Why choose it
Withstands high forces
In slot C8 it reaches 6000 N versus 4000 N for the T-nut; in slot C10 up to 24000 N in the largest profiles.
Inserted from the end
Slide it in from the end of the profile and move it to the mounting point: it must be planned before closing the frame.
Stays where you put it
With the sliding block spring it stays in position in the slot, even on vertical uprights.
Zinc-plated or stainless
Zinc-plated steel for all slots; in slot C6 there is also a stainless steel version for damp environments.
Choose it if…
- The connection must withstand high forces
- You can insert the nuts before closing the frame
- You fit brackets, connectors and plates in load-bearing joints
- You need a stainless version in slot C6
Choose another solution if…
- You need to add an accessory to an already closed frame: on request
- A light fixing with front insertion is enough for you: T-nut →
- You want to make custom fixings with several threads: Sliding block profile, 1000 mm bar →

What to use with the sliding block
Swivel-in sliding block
Goes in at the mounting point even in a closed frame.
Sliding block profile
1000 mm bar for custom fixings.
Always choose the sliding block for the same slot as the profile.
The LeanProducts service
From parts list to ready-to-assemble kit, with a single point of contact:
Cutting to length
We cut the profiles in our workshop to the lengths in your parts list.
Check of codes and quantities
We start from the parts list or a sketch: we check nuts, connectors, feet and accessories for every slot and every joint.
Ready-to-assemble kits
You receive cut profiles and accessories grouped by structure, with the component list.
Spare parts
When you modify or extend the structure we supply the same original components.
Send us the parts list or a photo of the structure: we reply with codes and quantities.

An M6 T-nut or an M6 swivel-in sliding block with spring for your profile's slot, C8 or C10.
In the slot C10 of the profile, with a sliding 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.
