Baks reinforced C-channel CWC100H50/3.3NMC — steel profile 100x50, 3.3 mm

Baks reinforced C-channel CWC100H50/3.3NMC — steel profile 100x50, 3.3 mm is a cold-formed structural C-profile made of carbon steel with nominal cross-section dimensions 100 × 50 mm and a wall thickness of 3.3 mm. The profile is designed to serve as a load-bearing element in light and medium-duty applications, providing increased stiffness compared with standard thin-walled channels. It is suitable for cutting, welding and further surface treatment, allowing integration into construction frames, shelving units, machine bases and support structures.

Advantages

The reinforced C-channel offers improved flexural rigidity and higher load capacity relative to similarly sized non-reinforced channels, while maintaining compatibility with common steelwork joining methods such as welding and bolting. Its uniform wall thickness and straightness ensure predictable mechanical behaviour during fabrication and assembly. The profile’s dimensions make it simple to cut and drill to fit bespoke projects, and its surface is ready for standard protective coatings or treatments.

Suitable for

• Construction framing and secondary structural members
• Shelving systems and racking supports
• Machine frames, bases and mounting rails
• Support brackets and reinforcement in fabricated assemblies
• Custom metal fabrication, cutting and welding projects

Key specifications

• Cross-section dimensions: 100 × 50 mm (nominal)
• Wall thickness: 3.3 mm
• Material type: carbon steel (cold-formed)
• Profile type: C-channel (reinforced)
• Suitable for: cutting, welding, drilling and surface treatment

How to use

Select the required length of the Baks C-channel and prepare end cuts and fixing points according to the project drawing. Use appropriate cutting tools for steel (band saw, abrasive cut-off or plasma) and remove burrs before assembly. For welded connections, follow recommended preheat and welding parameters for the steel grade used; for bolted joints, ensure flat, clean contact surfaces and match bolt size to the design loads. Apply surface protection such as primer, paint or galvanising after fabrication if corrosion resistance is required.

Usage recommendations

Store profiles horizontally on a flat surface to prevent bending; handle with appropriate lifting equipment for long lengths. Verify design loads and factor safety when using the profile as a primary structural element, and consult structural standards or an engineer for critical load-bearing applications.
