Application

Modification of Simotec pipe shoes to a single-sided axial stop, for use with traditional steel beams. Using the Axial stop, the pipe shoe can move axially through the pipe to a predefined degree of displacement, with restricted limits in one axial direction.
Max. Beam flange thickness t ≤ 30 mm

Scope of delivery

Axial stop AS consists of:
4 Clamping hooks
2 Threaded rod
1 Axial stop
Lift-off preventions:
2 pieces for 240/260
4 pieces for 280/300
Hexagon nuts:
8 on AS 80/120 and AS 140/180 and 240/260
4 for 200/220
12 for AS 280/300

Installation

The specified tightening torques must be observed for the connection to the beam. The required amount of axial movement is adjusted using the supplied nuts, with a maximum displacement of 125 mm, equating to half of the sliding plate Forces in the axial direction can only be achieved if anti-slip devices (e.g. cleats/stoppers) are used properly. These must be provided when designing the pipeline and are the responsibility of the pipeline manufacturer.

Technical Data

Load capacities correspond to the values of the fixed point set XS, see documentation in the catalogue. However, maximum axial load is 12 kN per axial stop.
