Profiles 5: Compact and lightweight profiles

Groove width 5 mm, modular cross-section 20 mm.

Thanks to their low weight and compact dimensions, item Line 5 profiles are ideal for constructions that are elegant but stable. For example, Line 5 profiles with flat cross-sections are used as carriage profiles in linear systems. Profiles from this line are also perfect for building lightweight frames and can accommodate a maximum tensile load of 500 N on the groove (M5 bolts).

Profiles 6: Weight-optimised profiles

Groove width 6 mm, modular cross-section 30 mm.

Line 6 profiles are a good choice for use in strong, weight-optimised tables, racks and frames. They support a slimline design and use resources sparingly, while variants with closed grooves create a harmonious appearance. The maximum extraction force on the groove is 1,750 N (M6 bolts).

Profiles 8: The standard material for design engineers

Groove width 8 mm, modular cross-section 40 mm.

Line 8 profiles from item are the originals of the aluminium building kit system. They offer the widest range of variants and are robust all-rounders that can withstand tensile loading of up to 5,000 N and use M8 bolts.

Profiles 10: Maximum load-carrying capacity for demanding applications

Groove width 10 mm, modular cross-section 50 mm.

Line 10 profiles are used when heavy loads need to be supported but space is limited. The high-strength profile flanks accommodate tensile loading of up to 7,000 N per screw connection (M10). These added-value profiles are also resistant to pre-tension losses. Lightweight Profiles 10E can be used in machine areas involving low loads.

Profiles 12: Our strongest profiles

Groove width 12 mm, modular cross-section 60 mm.

The strongest line in the MB Building Kit System is Line 12. The grooves accommodate extraction forces of up to 10,000 N per screw connection. The solid profiles are perfect for building high-strength frames and machine bases. Line 12 can also carry even heavy attachments.
