Steel Profile Mounting Elements are essential, though often overlooked, components in industrial installations and electrical infrastructure projects. The secure and correct fastening of cable trays, pipelines, and critical equipment to steel beams in large facilities directly impacts the load-bearing capacity and long-term investment value of the entire system. The quality and reliability of these mounting systems demand zero-error tolerance in profile mounting applications. In this context, OBO Bettermann steel profile mounting elements, supplied by Deltatema, set industry standards, particularly with codes like 1488074.
In this comprehensive guide, we will examine the critical role of Steel Profile Mounting Elements, the technical solutions offered by OBO Bettermann, the importance of product codes, and how to safeguard your projects with the correct profile mounting.
Why is Profile Mounting the Foundation of Critical Infrastructure?
Profile mounting systems are the interfaces that connect elements used in electrical and mechanical installations—such as cable trays and pipelines—to the main supporting structure of the building (steel beams). These connection points are where the system must demonstrate the highest strength and vibration resistance.
- Load Safety: Correct steel profile mounting elements safely transfer the cable load to the steel beams, preventing sagging or detachment.
- Flexibility and Modularity: Industrial installations are subject to constant change. Quality steel profile mounting elements are modular, allowing the system to be easily expanded or reconfigured in the future.
- Fire Resistance: The profile mounting elements themselves must be made of fire-resistant steel to maintain the integrity of the fire-resistant cable system.
OBO Bettermann Solutions and Code 1488074
OBO Bettermann is a global expert in profile mounting and connection technologies. Its solutions are built on ease of installation, high load capacity, and durability.
Product Details and Load Capacity
One of the products in Deltatema’s portfolio and frequently preferred in industrial connections is the Steel Profile Mounting Element with code 1488074.
- Product Code: 1488074 (FL1-G M8 TG 120): This code refers to one of OBO Bettermann’s elements used for fixing threaded rods or brackets to steel beams. It includes critical information such as the Transport Load (TG) and screw diameter (M8).
- Load Capacity: These elements offer a load-bearing capacity ranging from 120 kg to 350 kg (depending on the screw diameter M8-M12). This is a vital guarantee for the reliability of the cable installation.
- Material Quality: They are manufactured from high-strength galvanized steel, ensuring corrosion resistance and a long-term investment.
The Importance of Correct Profile Mounting Application
Incorrect profile mounting not only creates safety risks but also causes structural weaknesses from the very beginning of the project.
- Correct Type Selection: The type of profile element to be used (beam clamp, threaded rod hanger, bracket) must be determined based on the weight, type, and structure of the main beam. Codes like 1488074 ensure that this selection is made strictly according to technical drawings.
- Corrosion Control: In environments with high humidity or chemical vapors (e.g., food processing plants), stainless steel solutions or special coatings must be preferred over standard galvanizing. Otherwise, premature corrosion of the mounting elements jeopardizes the entire system.
At Deltatema, we offer expert engineering support to help you select and apply the correct steel profile mounting elements (e.g., 1488074) according to your project’s needs.
Conclusion
Steel Profile Mounting Elements and profile mounting systems are fundamental safety points for electrical and mechanical installations. Choosing certified products like 1488074 from OBO Bettermann guarantees that your project will be resistant to high loads, vibrations, and corrosion. At Deltatema, we are proud to secure your project’s safety not only in the cables but in every detail of the mounting.
