New Panel PC Coupling For ROLEC profiPLUS 50 Suspension Arms

September 2021

ROLEC has added a new 50/48 rotating elbow coupling to its profiPLUS 50 range of modular suspension arms – making it quicker and easier to install panel PCs.

Advanced profiPLUS 50 is perfect for a wide range of industrial control and display applications including machine building, process automation, machine control and robotics.

The new lockable coupling connects profiPLUS 50’s extruded aluminum profiles directly to 1.89” (48 mm) round tubes, with no need for an additional adapter. The coupling can pivot 300°– ideal for panel PCs that lack rotary function (such as Siemens Pro devices).

ROLEC’s new 50/48 elbow coupling (Part No. 142.020.002) is suitable for pivoting, hanging and upright arm configurations. It is 9.54” high, 7.36” at its widest point of curvature and it weighs 4.75 lbs (2.15 kg). The new coupling is manufactured from diecast aluminum painted in light gray (RAL 7035) with a plastic cover molded from POM in anthracite gray (RAL 7016).. There are six black Chloroprene (CR) gaskets and six galvanized steel assembly screws (4 x M8, 2 x M12).

ROLEC also offers a non-rotating 50/48 elbow coupling (Part No. 142.020.001) in the same materials and standard color scheme. It weighs 2.75 lbs (1.25 kg). Both elbow couplings are rated IP 54.

ROLEC’s profiPLUS 50 modular suspension arms offer a huge range of possible configurations. Standard options include 12 joints and bases, five support profiles (9.84” to 59” long), 16 adapters and 52 couplings/elbows.

ROLEC can customize the arms still further. Services include support profiles cut to specified lengths, CNC machining, custom colors, engraving/laser processing, printing and assembly.
