The holding strength of metal joints versus a horizontal or vertical pulling force is about 80kg (176 lb) These tests were performed at room temperature at a pulling rate of 5mm/min. B. The amount of force a pipe can withstand before yielding, when attached by various metal joints, can be seen below. C. The maximum force withstood by the shelf in this example was 200kg (440 lb) before slipping occurred. Note: The above examples refer to metal joints which have been attached at the recommended torque of 9.8Nm (100kg-cm or 7-1/4 ft-lb). These results will not be duplicated with other torque values, or in cases where pipe other than Creform standard pipe is used. Also, they are actual test values without any safety factors added. At room temperature, a force was applied in the center of a 1000mm (3’3") length pipe. The force rate was 1kg/min. Experimental Conditions A downward force was applied evenly on a shelf at room temperature and at a rate of 3kg/min.

Roller conveyors using HBG- or HBGA- 32mm pipe. Plastic joints. Adhesive strength for standard 28mm pipes & plastic joints. Plastic joint J-12B was set aside for one week after bonding with Creform Adhesive. It resisted a maximum pulling force of 800kg (1,762 lb) J-12B Expect similar results from other plastic joints. Bearing bushings (JB-160-EBL) of roller pipes, bearing pivots (JG-15B-EBL), and holders (JG-13-EBL) are made from specially formulated plastic polymer. This unique combination assures lubrication and maintenance-free conveyance of material under normal conditions as well as in high humidity environments. This load test was done at 5mm/minute on the roller’s center. The maximum loading is given at 1/10 the breaking point for safety purposes. Like other materials such as steel, aluminum and wood, the strength of Creform structures depends on design and assembly techniques. As with all structures, light loads require minimal bracing while heavier loads require reinforced structures. Tests below done at room temperature with a centralized force of 2kg/min.

Keep Creform Adhesive away from children. When not in use, store Creform Adhesive in a cool, dark and secure place. E. Do not intentionally inhale or breathe Creform Adhesive vapors as its organic solvents may be addicting or harmful to your health. B. Do not use Creform Adhesive for purposes other than bonding Creform pipes and joints. F. If Creform Adhesive comes in contact with the skin it may cause irritation. Quickly wash the affected area with soap and warm water. C. Because Creform Adhesive is flammable, do not use near open flames, sparks, or high heat. G. Creform Adhesive contains fast-drying solvents so remember to quickly replace the cap after use. Also, do not mix Creform Adhesive with other solvents or thinners. D. Use Creform Adhesive in a well ventilated area. Creform Adhesive — PRECAUTIONS. Creform Adhesive is specifically formulated for fabricating structures using Creform pipes and plastic joints. When applying, follow these PRECAUTION guidelines: Creform Adhesive — FOR BEST RESULTS. The following application guidelines will provide optimum bonding results and efficient structure fabrication. A. Before applying adhesive, make sure both pipe O.D. and joint I.D. are clean. B. A typical quantity of adhesive required for a single pipe-to-joint bond is approximately 0.7cc. C. Apply adhesive uniformly along the area to be bonded. Because the adhesive melts the pipe coating and plastic joints, make sure it is not forced out along the sides. D. After gluing, do not move the object for at least 10-15 minutes. At room temperature, roughly 80% adhesion strength is accomplished after 48 hours.800-839-8823www.creform.com H-10 SECTION H CREFORM TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS EF-2066 series used with 28mm pipes by placing EF-2068 between 28mm pipe and EF-2066 mounts.

Creform Placon ® Roller Conveyors are a versatile and cost-effective alternative for handling these types of containers providing stability and smooth material handling flow. Their superior construction and wide plastic wheels accommodate a broad range of applications while being noticeable quiet due to their precision nature. They are also ideally suited for conveying odd shaped and sized parts without packaging. To guard against excessive roller wear, new stainless steel covered rollers are available for conveying abrasive, unpackaged parts and components. The Placon gravity roller conveyor system is supported by a wide selection of roller styles, basic and stop mounts, frames, components and guide rails. Their 3" wide rollers provide the extra support necessary to ensure smooth product or box transfer. Precision rollers spin freely and smoothly on polished stainless steel axles therefore requiring less flow lane angle than conventional skatewheel conveyors. A lower flow lane angle will also result in using less vertical space. Placon conveyors can be combined with Creform stationary or mobile flow racks, built with either 28mm or 42mm pipe, enhancing the efficiency and ergonomics of parts presentation in a manufacturing workstation and cell or warehousing order picking and kitting operations. All Placon components can be found on the following pages in this catalog or ask your Creform representative for assistance.

You’ll need the joints in place at the bottom of the structure before installing casters. 2. Fully insert caster into pipe. 2. Twist stem to expand rubber mandrel until it just slides into pipe. You need friction between rubber mandrel and pipe to tighten. 3. Using a Creform caster wrench, turn the large nut clockwise to expand the rubber bushing until the caster is secure. 3. Position caster so anti-rotation tabs surround the pipe. 4. Use CW-34 caster wrench on the large bolt at the bottom of the mandrel to perform final tightening.
