Why Aluminum Structural Framing?

Do you know why you're seeing more and more metal structures made of Bosch Rexroth aluminum structural framing rather than welded steel? Simple. Bosch Rexroth framing costs less, is more versatile, and does a better job than steel. And perhaps most important, it's easier to work with. That's because at the heart of the system is the framing's T-slot design: insert a T-bolt into a T-slot and tighten. It's that simple. No welding, no grinding, no nothing. Your frame goes together quickly and easily using a few simple hand tools. Then, choosing from a wide assortment of accessories, you add whatever components you want just as easily. And when you're done, you have a strong, lightweight structure that's as functional as it is attractive. The high-strength extruded aluminum profiles have a natural-color, anodized surface that's scratch- and corrosion resistant, never needs painting, and is maintenance-free.

Bosch Rexroth offers the world's largest selection of profiles and accessories, both inch and metric. Profiles range from 20mm square to 90 x 360mm, or 1" square to 3" x 6". In each series, T-slot widths and center bore diameters are standardized to assure connector compatibility. And our specialty profiles make short work of really demanding applications, like cleanrooms and lean manufacturing.

Exclusive Features with Bosch Rexroth

Large, splined center bore The industry's largest bore sizes use heavier-duty connec tors (up to 16mm) for more strength and stability. Most popular styles are splined to accept self-tapping screws, saving you the expense of extra tapping.

Wider T-slot, unique edge An extra-wide T-slot supports larger connectors, and its thick lip makes connec tions even stronger. The unique Rexroth edge allows plastic T-nuts, cover strips and mounting strips to fit flush, for a smooth surface.

Serrated T-bolts, T-nuts and screws Our serrated Grade 8.8 steel connectors give you the strongest, most vibration-resistant ESD connections. This has been documented by independent testing laboratories, and we publish full technical data in our catalogs.

Twist-in fasteners Save valuable time with our easy-to-load connectors. While other systems make you load fasteners from the end of the profile, Rexroth swivel-in connectors can be added anywhere along the T-slot.

Extra-thick neck on T-nuts Our T-nuts have a thicker neck than others, to extend into the T-slot and provide more thread engagement. Lock them in position with a quarterturn - no over-rotation and no guesswork.

Unique alignment tabs Alignment tabs maximize labor savings by positioning a connector on the profile, preventing rotation and using fewer fasteners. Other systems require up to eight fasteners per side plate.
