RICON® S – connectors for high capacity standard connections

RICON® S – connectors for high capacity standard connections

* Charact. load carrying capacity F2,Rk in insertion direction applies only to the use of original KNAPP® CS-screws according to ETA 10/0189 (2019/10/11).

VS = welded collar bolt, for highest load capacities
EK = adjustable screw collar bolt, for tolerance adjustment
GK = spring-loaded collar bolt for special assembly requirements
VK = screwed collar bolt, for moderate charge capacities

Note: The required number of screws for the connector RICON®S should be based on previously determined characteristic values of loads. You can verify this using our user-friendly pre-dimensioning tool, or please contact our technical support team.

The V-shape moulding provides perfect catch of the collar bolt. The strong tension and the short slide-in alleviates the connecting and guarantees joint sealing.
2
RICON® S is made of premium quality steel, hot-dip galvanized and produced in Germany.
3
KNAPP® CS-screws with cut point for extra fast starts and screwing. The reinforced shaft provides force-fit connection.
4
The RICON®S clip lock, made from stainless spring steel, locks the connection against slide-in direction and can optionally be used for stress against slide-in direction or wind suction.
