Frequently asked questions
Common questions about FATH INC. from 3G Electric.
What series sizes are available for FATH INC. T-slot framing components?
FATH INC. offers components compatible with 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, and 45 series profiles. Each series corresponds to a specific slot width—for example, 15 series uses a 5 mm slot, 25 series uses a 6 mm slot, and 30 and 40 series use an 8 mm slot. This allows integration with standard metric T-slot systems. When selecting a component, verify the series and slot width to ensure proper fit with your existing profiles.
Are FATH INC. hinges available in different materials and finishes?
Yes, FATH INC. hinges are offered in aluminum with a silver or black powder-coated finish, as well as polyamide (black). Aluminum hinges provide strength and corrosion resistance for industrial environments, while polyamide hinges are lightweight and non-conductive. All hinges are butt-type with a 6.6 mm mounting hole, and sizes vary by series—for example, 25 series hinges measure 48 mm x 52 mm, and 40 series hinges measure 48 mm x 77 mm.
What is the difference between a drop-in T-slot stud and a standard T-nut from FATH INC.?
A drop-in T-slot stud, such as the FATH INC. hammer bolt, is inserted into the T-slot from the end of the profile and then rotated to engage the slot. It is designed for quick assembly and disassembly. A standard T-nut is typically inserted from the side or dropped into the slot and requires a bolt to secure. Both are available in metric sizes—for example, M6 hammer bolts fit 8 mm slots in 40 series profiles. Choose based on access to the profile end and assembly speed requirements.
Can FATH INC. conveyor roller mounts be used with multiple profile series?
Yes, the FATH INC. conveyor roller mounting bracket (MPN 0932001-4S01) is compatible with 15, 30, 40, and 45 series profiles. It is designed for bulk conveying applications and comes in a black finish. The bracket allows integration of roller conveyors into T-slot framing structures, enabling modular material handling systems. Verify the roller diameter and mounting hole pattern to ensure compatibility with your specific rollers.
What is the load capacity of FATH INC. 45° corner supports?
FATH INC. 45° angle connectors (e.g., MPN 093WS30245N08) are made of powder-coated aluminum and are designed for 30 series profiles with an 8 mm slot width. While specific load ratings depend on the overall structure and fastening method, these connectors are intended for bracing and corner reinforcement in light to medium-duty framing. For heavy loads, consider using multiple connectors or a higher series profile. Always test the assembly under expected loads.
Are FATH INC. joining plates available in different hole patterns?
Yes, FATH INC. offers joining plates like the T flat plate (MPN 093VT6060) for 20 series profiles, which has five holes and measures 58 mm x 58 mm x 4 mm. Other plates may have different hole counts and dimensions depending on the series. These plates are used to connect profiles at right angles or in T-junctions. The matte chrome-plated aluminum finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean appearance.
