Component Specifications

Definition
Cross braces are diagonal structural members installed within bending arm frames to resist lateral forces, prevent deformation under operational loads, and improve overall frame rigidity. They function by transferring stress through triangulation, reducing deflection and vibration during bending operations.
Working Principle
Operates on the principle of triangulation, where diagonal members create rigid triangles within the frame structure. This configuration converts bending moments into axial loads along the brace, distributing forces efficiently and minimizing torsional stress on the frame.
Materials
Typically manufactured from high-strength low-alloy steel (HSLA) such as ASTM A572 Grade 50, or structural steel like S355JR. May include aluminum alloys (e.g., 6061-T6) for lightweight applications, with surface treatments like hot-dip galvanizing or powder coating for corrosion resistance.
Technical Parameters
  • Length Customized to frame dimensions (typically 500-2000 mm)
  • Weight 5-50 kg
  • Thickness 3-12 mm depending on load requirements
  • Cross-section Rectangular tube, angle iron, or I-beam
  • Load capacity 10-50 kN axial load
  • Connection type Bolted, welded, or pinned ends
Standards
ISO 10721-1, DIN 18800-1
