Description
Technical Overview
The Floor Mount Base Plate – 40 Series anchors 40 series aluminium extrusions directly to flat floor surfaces with exceptional reliability. This crucial component functions as a heavy-duty structural interface. Furthermore, it ensures rigid stability for vertical profiles and frameworks within your larger system. We construct this base plate from durable steel to provide maximum strength. Additionally, a protective grey powder coating prevents corrosion over time. The design features four built-in slot mounting holes for straightforward attachment to your extrusion profiles. Simultaneously, four large floor mounting holes guarantee secure anchoring in industrial and commercial environments.
Applications
Engineers utilize the Floor Mount Base Plate – 40 Series for heavy-duty structural anchoring in industrial automation, material handling, and workshop setups. Primarily, you install this component to secure aluminium extrusion assemblies firmly to the floor. Consequently, this prevents tipping, shifting, or structural misalignment during operation. For instance, builders rely on these plates to secure heavy-duty aluminium extrusion structures and vertical pillars directly to the ground. Moreover, these plates create highly stable, vibration-resistant bases for machine frames and busy workstations. You can also build robust support structures and durable structural legs for heavy industrial equipment. Finally, these plates implement rigid floor anchoring for safety guarding, protective fencing, and secure machinery enclosures.

Maker Store Tips and Tricks
-
Ensure the concrete or floor surface is completely level before drilling your floor anchor holes to maintain perfect perpendicular alignment of your vertical extrusion.
-
Use appropriately rated $\text{12mm}$ or $\text{M12}$ masonry anchors or dynabolts through the $\varnothing\text{14mm}$ floor mounting holes for maximum load capacity.
-
Check the alignment and torque of the extrusion profile slot bolts periodically in high-vibration machinery environments.

What makes T-Slots such an easy assembly task?
Building frames out of T-Slot extrusions is easy because they eliminate the need for specialised tools or welding, simplifying the assembly process. Building frames using T-Slot Linear Rail will require;
- 40 Series T-Slot Extrusions: These are the main structural components, usually made of aluminium, with slots along their lengths that allow you to easily connect various parts and accessories.
- 40 Series Brackets and Connectors: These are specialised components designed to fit into the T-Slot extrusions and secure them together at various angles. They include corner brackets, T-nuts, L-shaped brackets, and other connectors.
- Fasteners: Bolts, screws, and nuts are required to attach the brackets and connectors to the T-Slot extrusions securely.
- Tools: Basic hand tools like wrenches, Allen keys (hex keys), and screwdrivers are necessary for assembly. Additionally, a saw may be needed to cut the T-Slot extrusions to your desired lengths.
