Type BK1 Beam Clamps

Data Sheet 91

¦ Manufactured from Ductile iron

¦ Hot Dip Galvanised as standard

¦ 5 to 1 Factor of Safety

¦ Lloyds Register approved

The type BK1 is a self-adjusting fixing consisting of

two parts. The body has a spherical seat cast into

it to allow a hemispherical washer to sit in and

rotate. This allows the body to adjust to a

specified clamping range and provide a flat surface

for a nut or bolt to be tightened down onto. This

fixing is excellent for applications where the flange

thickness cannot easily be measured or where the

flange thickness may vary throughout a project.

Due to its clamping action, it is also suitable for

clamping to tapered flanges and rails up to 15

degrees. Long packings (BF2 and BG2) can be

used to increase the clamping range,

All sizes of the BK1 have a wide back tail to allow

them to bridge the gap of slotted holes and also

connect to open ends of strut products. The M08,

M10 and M12 have an additional cut out in the tail

to provide a tab that fits inside the open end of

strut products, this aids installation but also

prevents them from rotating once installed.
