Aluminum profile Baks PAL40H40/2,1 model 894621 – PAL40H40/2.1 structural profile

Baks aluminum profile PAL40H40/2,1 (model 894621) is a structural extrusion intended for framing, mounting and general construction applications. Made from aluminum with a consistent cross-section, this PAL40H40/2.1 profile offers a lightweight yet rigid solution for building frames, supports, enclosures, and modular assemblies in both industrial and DIY projects. The profile's geometry is suitable for use with standard fasteners and joining systems common to aluminum framing.

Advantages

The aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and a high strength-to-weight ratio, making the profile suitable for long-term structural use in many environments. Consistent section dimensions ensure compatibility with common connectors and accessories used in profile-based systems. The extruded surface allows for straightforward machining, cutting, and drilling to adapt the profile to project-specific requirements.

Suitable for

• Machine frames and supports for industrial equipment
• Modular enclosures and cabinets
• Workbenches, shelving and storage systems
• Fixtures, jigs and prototyping structures in workshops
• DIY projects requiring lightweight structural elements

When it may not be suitable

This profile is not intended for primary structural elements in applications that require certified load-bearing calculations or where alloys with specific mechanical certifications are mandated. It may not be suitable for environments requiring specialized surface treatments beyond standard aluminum corrosion resistance, such as prolonged exposure to highly corrosive chemicals or marine immersion without additional coatings.

Key specifications

• Material: aluminum alloy
• Profile cross-section: 40 mm × 40 mm
• Wall thickness: 2.1 mm (nominal)
• Finish: extruded aluminum surface (mill finish)
• Typical applications: structural framing, mounting, enclosure construction

How to use

Cut the profile to the required lengths using appropriate saws for non-ferrous metals, then deburr cut edges. Join sections using compatible fasteners, brackets or T-slot connectors designed for 40×40 profiles. When assembling frames or enclosures, pre-drill holes where needed for through-bolts or threaded inserts, and verify alignment before final tightening. For increased corrosion protection or specific aesthetic requirements, consider anodizing or applying suitable coatings after fabrication.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cross-section and wall thickness match your design needs
• Confirm material compatibility with any coatings, fasteners or joining systems you plan to use
• Ensure available connectors and accessories match the 40×40 profile dimensions
• Plan for cutting, machining and any surface treatment before final assembly

Usage recommendations

Handle and store profiles flat and protected from impact to avoid bending or surface damage. Use cutting tools rated for aluminum and apply appropriate coolant or lubricant to reduce burrs. For structural assemblies, follow standard engineering practice: check load requirements, secure fasteners to specified torque, and, if needed, consult a structural engineer for critical applications.
