2.6.2. Fastening using metal anchors
Only RMS610 (REM025) and RMS613 (REM033) washer
models with a maximum spin speed of less than 150G.
THIS FASTENING SYSTEM ALLOWS FOR THE
IMMEDIATE USE OF THE WASHER BUT IT CAN ONLY
BE APPLIED IF THE RESISTANCE OF THE FLOORING
MATERIAL IS EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN
25 N/mm2 (4000 psi) AND ITS THICKNESS IS GREATER
THAN 50 mm (2 in) IN VALUE K ON FIGURE 2.6.
Characteristics of the washer placement
Build a concrete base according to the drawing in Figures
2.1 and 2.2 (section 2.4). The dimensions values are
specified on the table in section 2.5 according to the
machine model.
The minimum resistance of the concrete must be equivalent
to 25 N/mm2 (3600 psi).
To assist loading and unloading operations, it is
recommended to build an elevated base (value
J
, table
section 2.4) in respect to the building floor
BUT ALWAYS
WITH THE SAME CHARACTERISTICS AS THE REST OF
THE FLOORING STRUCTURE
. Check the height of the
lower zone of the washer door at value
M
(table section
2.4).
Mark the bolting points on the washer by following the
indications in Figure 2.1 and 2.2 (optionally, the washer can
be used as a template).
Characteristics of the metal anchors
(Fig. 2.6):
-
Use metal expansion bolts with a high mechanical
resistance. The use of expansion bolts fastens down the
washer with the nuts and locknuts (
B
).
-
Diameter of the bolts:
RMS610 (REM025): 0.5 in (12 mm) (M12 or equivalent)
RMS613 (REM033): 0.6 in (14 mm) (M14 or equivalent)
-
Minimum length (
K
) of the expansion body: 3.9 in (100 mm)
-
The top end (
C
) of the expansion bolt must rest 2.4 in (60 mm) above the flooring.
Setting the metal anchors
Drill the holes for the metal anchors and clean the dust and concrete from the inside.
Place the washer over the anchor holes. Insert the metal anchors in their respective holes.
The fastening of the machine must be done by using the bolting down flat washers supplied with the machine
(Fig. 2.6/
A
). THESE FLAT WASHERS ARE ESSENTIAL TO THE SECURE FASTENING OF THE WASHER.
Set the flat washers and tighten the nuts and locknuts (Fig. 2.6/
B
).
The torque value of the nuts is the only indication of the proper installation and fastening of the metal anchors;
therefore it is essential to check whether the nuts are tightened with a dynamometric wrench, following the
instructions provided by the anchor manufacturer.
