Hello and welcome to 80/20’s product highlight series. Today we’re going to take a look at the leveling caster. This caster is great for applications that require level surfaces, but also may need to move from time to time. It’s available in fractional and metric, and across a wide range of profile series. This caster can be installed on the end of a profile, or on the side of it. Regardless on how you decide to mount it, a bolt assembly and a base plate will be required. More information on 80/20’s recommended bolt assemblies can be found in the 80/20 product catalog.

Now for our example, we decided to mount it on the side of the profile. We’ve already got our base plate mounted on there. So we’re going to take our caster, flip it upside down and we’ll line up the holes on the caster, with the ones on the base plate. From there, we’ll take our bolts, and thread them in there one by one. Now once we have those tightened down. The great feature about this caster, is that when you need it to move, you can use the wheel on the back and when you need a level surface, you just adjust the caster to lower the leveling foot, and you have your leveling foot.

Its available in fractional, metric, and is compatible across a wide range of profile series. The double anchor fastener comes in five parts; you have two cams, two bolts, and a double T-nut.

More information on the counterbore service can be found in the 80/20 product catalog. Now when it comes to installing the double anchor fastener, youre going to start with your bolts. Take your bolts, put them into your cams. At that point, youre going to take your bar with the counterbore machined into it, and place the cams into the counterbores. Next, grab your double T-nut.

You can install it with or without a bracket. If you are going to do it without a bracket, simply take the wheel and loosen up the T-nut, and you’ll slide it into the open T-slot. You’ll find your location, and then you’ll tighten it down. Now if you’re going to use a bracket you simply take the preassembled part, and loosen up the T-nuts.

$80/20: Dynamic Pivots Overview 80/20: Dynamic Pivots Overview Find in Catalog: https://bit.ly/428g7iZ To Purchase: https://bit.ly/3LYp8oX Hello and welcome to 80/20’s product highlight series. Today we’re going to take a look at dynamic pivots. These pivots allow two bars to pivot and position at various angles. They’re easy to install, available in both fractional and metric, and compatible across a wide range of profile series. They require no machining and come preassembled. They can also come as individual components allowing you to customize your pivot. More information on 80/20’s dynamic pivot components can be found in the 80/20 product catalog. Now before we get started it’s worth noting that dynamic pivots come in various styles and alignments. Such as zero degree which runs parallel with the bar, and ninety degree which runs perpendicular with the bar. Now for our example we are going to start with individual components and assemble a dynamic pivot ourselves. So we’ll grab one of our arms, take a washer and put it in the Tnut side. Take our nub, and we’ll line up that arm on the side of the nub. We’ll take a bolt, and feed it through, and we’ll just hand tighten that down. Go ahead and finish that off with our wrench, get that nice and snug. Now once we have that tightened down, you can see we still have full range on our dynamic pivot. So we’ll go ahead and repeat the process on the other side. Grab our arm, put a washer on the Tnut side., and line it up over the side of the nub. Grab our bolt, and we’ll feed it right through into the threaded hole in the nub. Hand-tighten that down. We’ll grab our wrench, and finish it off. Now once you have all that together, we’re at the point where we match our preassembled dynamic pivot. So from here we’ll go ahead and install it onto our profile, we’ll loosen up the Tnut on the nub. Now that we’ve got that loose, we’ll slide it right into the open Tslot. We’ll go ahead and find our position on there, and we’ll tighten that down. From there, to install our other bar. We’ll first need to loosen up the Tnuts and the bolts on our arms. So we’ll just get these loosened up. Once you have those loosened up, you’ll grab your other profile, and we’ll slide it right in between the arms. Now you want to make sure when you’re installing this that you don’t get your profile too close to your nub, you want a little bit of a gap. So we’ll grab our wrench and we’ll tighten the bolts back down. Now once you have that tightened down you have a nice secure connection, but you still have fluid movement in your dynamic pivot. Now lastly we want to mention that dynamic pivots can come with brake handles. You simply loosen up your brake handle, move your profile into the desired location that you want and you can tighten that brake handle back down and it’ll hold it right into position for you.
