Fixed Length Extrusion (Effective Length 4,000 mm) Specification Table (Alteration: Unavailable)
[ ! ] Part numbers beginning with the character "K" indicate Fixed Length Extrusion.
[ ! ] *1 An effective Length of 4,000 mm indicates the extrusion with 4,000 mm or more effective length.
The actual length with extra lengths on ends is more than 4,000 mm (several 10mm longer).
Fixed Length Extrusions need to be cut by users thus the exact length cannot be specified.
[ ! ] Recommended heat resistance temperature is up to 70°C. Use with the temperature of above 100°C will cause bending due to the load.
However, for temporary high temperatures such as water vapor, up to 100°C is acceptable.

Features
Series 5 Applications
Most lightweight in aluminum extrusions usable with various fastening parts.
Suited for locations where small forces apply, such as for small coverings, small part racks and safety fences.
Usable in combination with different slot width extrusions.
Extrusions with different slot width can be combined when integrating frames and coverings.
Series 5, Series 6, Series 8 Slot Width Mixed Extrusions and Assembly Brackets for Different Extrusion Sizes are available.
Utilize these components to assemble an aluminum extrusion as you desire.

■ How to specify Aluminum Extrusions Load Capacity Guideline (deflection amount)
[ ! ] The load capacity guideline is a load which the extrusion deflection amount is within 1 mm per 1,000 mm of length.
Deflection exceeding this will not cause damage, but should be considered the maximum practical deflection. (The allowable deflection amount is proportional to the length. Example: 500 mm => 0.5 mm, 2000 mm => 2 mm)

| Type | Alterations | Alteration Codes | Application Example | Contents |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| > End Tapping | End Tapping (Center Hole) | LTP / RTP / TPW LHP / RHP / HPW |  | Adds tapped holes on extrusion ends. Blind Joints which require this alteration (Screw Joint / Simple Joint) |
| End Tapping (4 Side Holes) | LSP / RSP / SPW |  | Adds tapped holes on extrusion end face and corner ends. | |
| > Cutting Method Change | High Precision Cut | SC |  | Applies High Precision Cut with an overall length L tolerance of L ±0.2 (Standard = L ±0.5). *Only applicable to L ≤ 1,500 |
| 45-Degree Cut | L□T45 / R□T45 |  | Cuts with 45-degree angle. In case of 45-Degree Cut, it is impossible to specify other alterations in the same direction. Example: HFS5-2020-500-LTP-LAT45 => Not acceptable (Alterations in the same direction (left)) HFS5-2020-500-LTP-RAT45 => Acceptable (Separate alterations on left and right) | |
| > Wrench Hole Drilling | Wrench Hole in Fixed Position | LWP / RWP |  | Wrench hole(s) for Blind Joints are drilled. The hole location will be aligned with the mating extrusion’s end tapping location. Blind Joints which require this alteration (Screw Joint / Single Joint / Tapping Joint) |
| Hole Position Change for Extrusion End Cap Thickness | FL / FR |  | Offsets the wrench hole for the fixed position of Extrusion End Cap thickness (3 mm). The extrusion end cap will be flat with the adjacent extrusion surface. *For 5 Series 20 Square Extrusions, shift the wrench hole by the cap thickness (2.5 mm). | |
| Wrench Hole in Specified Position | AH / BH / AV / BV |  | Adds a wrench hole in a desired position from the left end face. Use for blind joint in beam sections, etc. | |
| > Counterboring | Counterbored Holes in Specified Position | Z6 / XA100 |  | Adds a counterbored hole in a desired position from the left end face. Can be used for connecting extrusions or installing tables, etc. |
| > Blind Joint Dedicated Holes | D Hole | LDH / RDH |  | Adds required holes for Single Joint connections. (Single Joints) |
| S Hole | LSH |  | Adds required holes for Pre-Assembly Insertion Double Joint connections. (Pre-Assembly Insertion Double Joints) | |
| M Hole | LMH |  | Adds required holes for Post-Assembly Insertion Double Joints, Center Joint connections. (Post-Assembly Insertion Double Joint / Center Joint) | |
| L Hole | JLP |  | Adds required holes for Parallel Joint connections. (Parallel Joints) | |
| > Other Machining | HFSR End Tapping | LTS / RTS / TSW |  | Necessary alteration to use Ends Protection Plates for HFSR series. |
| End Face C Chamfering | CW |  | Adds C Chamfering on extrusion end faces. | |
| Labeling | ZZZ |  | Adds a sticker with catalog No. etc. on the aluminum extrusions. Although number of characters are limited, customer's own serial number or unit number can be labeled. |
