D28 Round Tube System

D28 Round Tube System

»  Economical
design and effortless
handling. «

The D28 round tube system was developed for lean

production purposes to provide more streamlined
and economical use of production resources. Al-
most any design for individual workshop and as-
sembly equipment can be built using just two profile
cross sections and ten connectors.

Whether for supply trolleys, shelves, racks or exten-

sions for workstations, the easy-to-use D28 round
tube system means that a single person can put
together brand new structures or extensions with
little effort. Neither profile machining nor special
tools are required for a solid and load-bearing con-
struction.

The D28 round tube system is compatible with mk

Series 40 profiles, offering the possibility to com-
bine square and round cross sections. This com-
bines the advantages of both series, ensuring high
stability and versatility as well as weight and cost
savings.

The system can also be combined with round tube

components from market leaders, making it easy
to expand any existing designs. In some cases,
the range of functions and stiffness are even more
extensive thanks to the innovative profile cross-
section.

 Series D28 Profiles

Basic Profiles
Series D28 round tube profiles have a diameter of
28 mm and a centre bore channel of 7.4 mm. They
are compatible with mk Series 40 profiles and can
be connected with an adapter or tension plug. They
can be used for constructing equipment such as
light-duty frames, supply trolleys, shelves or exten-
sions for workstations. The optimised contour pro-
vides the system with excellent moments of inertia
and section moduli.

90° Angle Fasteners

The T-connector D28 consists of two pre-assembled
half shells and is attached using a screw-clamp con-
nection on the longitudinal key of the mk 2279 profile
and face of the mk 2279/2280 profiles.

The corner fastener D28 consists of two pre-assem-

bled half shells and is attached using a screw-clamp
connection on the face of the mk 2279/2280 pro-
files.

connection on the longitudinal key of the mk 2279
profile and face of the mk 2279/2280 profiles.

The angle brace D28 stabilises the corner joints of

the mk 2279 profile. The connector also consists of
two pre-assembled half shells and is attached using
a screw-clamp connection on the longitudinal keys of
the profiles. Series 40 corner joints can also be stabi-
lised using the adapter D28/40.

 Ball Joint Connectors
The ball joint connectors are suitable for variable
connections between two Series D28 round tube pro-
files. Each consists of two pre-assembled half shells.
Angles up to 90° can be fixed by tightening the
screws.

Ball joint 1 D28 is attached using a screw-clamp con-

nection on the face of the profiles. Ball joint 2 D28
consists of two pre-assembled half shells and is at-
tached using a screw-clamp connection on the longi-
tudinal key of the mk 2279 profile and face of the mk
2279/2280 profiles.

Adapter for Series 40 Profiles

The adapter D28/40 enables a Series 40 profile to be
used with Series D28 connectors. The adapter plate
is fixed in the slot or attached to the face of a Series
40 profile, which allows a Series 28 screw-clamp
connection to be attached.

Material: die-cast aluminium

End Cap
The mk 2582 end cap has a diameter of 28 mm and
closes the front side of the mk 2279 and mk 2280 Adapter D28/40
profiles. It protects against sharp-edged cutting sur- K112280004
faces and provides for a clean closure and high-qual-
ity look. The end cap is fastened to the profile simply
by placing it on the end.
