Design Data
Superstrut
®
self-aligning channel nuts are designed to provide resistance
to pull out and resistance to side slip in excess of the full strength of the
channels with which they are used. The extreme resistance to side slip
results from the unique design of the alternate teeth, spaced and designed
to develop a wedging action that increases with pressure or load.
