BeamClamp™ Girder Clamp Assemblies


 

 

Typical BeamClamp Assembly

  This is an example of a typical BeamClamp assembly used to connect two steel sections together. The assembly consists of a pre-drilled location plate [4] inserted between the two steel sections. An upper set of BeamClamp components [2] clamp down on the lower flange of the upper beam while a lower set of components [5] work in the opposite direction, clamping the underside of the upper flange of the lower member. Additional packing shims [3] may be used to adjust the clamp to the thickness of the flange being connected. The connection is secured by inserting a bolt [1] through each of the lower clamps, the location plate, the upper clamps and then tightening a nut to the recommended torque. BeamClamp is pleased to offer a free design service to advise on the appropriate components for your particular assembly. In addition we are pleased to include a quotation for your supply of bolts, nuts, washers and pre-drilled location plates.

Load Capacity for Connections
 

Do not exceed the Safe Working Loads (SWL) specified.
When combining different products please use the SWL of the product with the lowest load capacity stated in the table above, i.e. 5/8'' diameter load capacity of a combination of Type BA & BK will be 5936 lb.

All BeamClamp safe working loads have been determined from an extensive testing program based on typical usage. The values shown offer a Safety Factor of 5:1 based on two standard deviations below the mean outcome of all our test results.
 

 

Steelwork Connection Products


BA

 

BB

 

BT

These products are used mainly for connecting secondary steel sections to existing steel structures. A location plate or bracket is normally used with these products to provide a base for the clamp to react against. Pre-drilling holes in the plate to suit the widths of the steel sections being connected ensures that the clamps are positioned correctly. With a bolt going through the clamps and the location plate, the individual components can not move independently of the whole connection. This allows the connection to be adjustable until the bolts are securely tightened. The location plate is manufactured off site so that no drilling or welding is required on site. The need for hot work permits or on site power is eliminated as the connection can be installed with simple hand tools without the need for specialized labor.
