description
Aluminum support arms provide structural support for industrial workstations, machine-mounted devices, and equipment frames. Aluminum carries the load while keeping the structure light enough for one person to adjust or reconfigure without hoists or lifting equipment. 6061-T6 takes anodizing well and holds up in industrial environments without rusting. 6063-T5 works well when maximum strength is not the priority - lower cost for the same good surface. Standard section sizes from 40 mm to 120 mm cover most applications. Lengths up to 3000 mm in one piece, longer spans handled by joining sections or internal reinforcement.
Arm Sizing for Load and Deflection
The limiting factor for support arms is usually deflection, not strength. A 120 mm arm under a given load deflects less than a 40 mm arm of the same length. We size arms based on your load and the allowable deflection at the attachment point - for precision equipment, deflection is often the tighter constraint than load capacity.
