T Slot Framing Rails
Introducing MicroRAX
Check out our new Blog, link on the main menu bar.
Regular T-slot nuts are inserted from the top or the bottom of the profile. Roll-in T-slot nut are rolled into the slot of the profile For use with our 25mm, 30mm, and 40 mm profiles. The versatility of this modular t-slot aluminum profile system makes it ideally suitable for machine bases and frames, linear slide systems, safety guarding and enclosures, worktables, structural framing and material handling. Use our configurator to build the right part for your application.

MicroRAX works like larger structural framing with unique dovetail slots running down the length. Joining plates engage nuts that fit into the slots allowing for placement along the length of the profile. You can make just about any configuration imaginable. Made from high-strength precision extruded aluminum (6063-T6), MicroRAX is much stronger than plastic building systems or thin punched sheet metal.

80/20, known as 'The Industrial Erector Set'©, is a modular T -slotted aluminum framing system offered in both inch and metric profiles. It offers extremely cost-efficient solutions to building machine frames, guards, work stations, retrofit projects and more... basically anything ... and we do it all right here at Fiero Fluid Power! We maintain extensive product inventories and provide in-house services including in-depth CAD support and building complete value-added assemblies.
80/20’s modularity is based upon the T-slot concept of our profiles. The 'T' shaped slots present on all of our profiles allow for infinite positioning along the axis. While there are other types of T-slotted profiles in the industry, one modification to the 80/20 line is a slight adjustment to the ' T' which creates the 2° Drop-Lock Feature. When a fastener is tightened to (or beyond) the necessary torque, the flange will flex up to the adjoining profile, thus creating pressure which prevents the fasteners from vibrating loose.
