Virtual Technician: Installation Guide ⚠️

• Mounting Logic: To install on an aluminium profile, you do not need to drill holes in the metal frame. Simply slide two T-Nuts into the profile slot, align them with the handle holes, and bolt down using Socket Head Cap Screws.

• Alignment: Measure your T-nut position carefully. Since 120mm is fixed, tighten one bolt loosely first, then align the second T-nut before torquing both down.

• Screw Length: Ensure your bolts are long enough to pass through the handle base and grab the T-nut threads, but not so long that they bottom out against the profile groove floor. Typically, M6x16mm or M8x20mm works best.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Will this fit my 2020 extrusion?

   • Yes, it fits physically, but it might look large on a thin 20mm rail. You will need M5 T-nuts and M5 screws (with washers if the hole is too big).

2. Does it fit 3030 extrusion?

   • Yes, it is perfectly sized for 3030 profiles. Use M6 hardware.

3. What is the exact hole distance?

   • 120mm center-to-center.

4. Is it plastic or metal?

   • It is solid Aluminum Alloy (Metal).

5. Does it come with T-nuts?

   • No, because different profiles (20/30/40 series) use different T-nuts. You must buy those separately.

6. Can I mount it to a wooden cabinet?

   • Yes, absolutely. Just drill two holes 120mm apart and use standard bolts/nuts.

7. Is the finish shiny?

   • It typically has a matte or satin industrial finish (anodized or powder coated), not mirror chrome.

8. Will it get hot?

   • Yes, aluminum conducts heat. If attached to a heated chamber, the handle will reach the chamber temperature.

9. How heavy is the handle?

   • It weighs approx 140g, giving it a premium, heavy feel compared to lightweight plastic handles.

10. What screw type should I use?

    • Socket Head Cap Screws (Allen bolts) look the best because they fit inside the recessed holes.

11. Is it magnetic?

    • No, aluminum is non-magnetic.

12. Can I use countersunk screws?

    • No. The holes are flat-bottomed. Countersunk heads will not sit correctly.

13. Is it stronger than the nylon version?

    • Yes, much stronger. It will not flex under heavy load.

14. Can I paint it?

    • Yes, but you should sand/prime it first.

15. What is the total height?

    • Clearance is usually around 35-40mm, providing ample grip space.

16. Can I use it outdoors?

    • Yes, aluminium is corrosion-resistant.

17. Is it suitable for lifting equipment?

    • Yes, it is rated for heavy lifting (50kg+), provided your T-nuts are secure.

18. Does it fit V-Slot profiles?

    • Yes, V-Slot uses the same T-nut system as T-Slot.

19. Why is 120mm specific?

    • It's a standard industrial size that balances grip width with compactness on machinery.

20. Is the grip textured?

    • Usually smooth metal, which is easier to wipe clean of grease/oil than textured plastic.
