Side Mount Bracket Baks BUF30 panel holder for mounting panels and displays

Baks BUF30 is a side mount bracket designed to hold and secure panels and displays at their edge. Manufactured from formed metal by Baks, this bracket provides a compact mounting solution for control panels, small displays and enclosure fronts where a side-mounted attachment is required. The design allows the panel to be clamped to a supporting frame or structure while maintaining a low profile at the installation point.

Advantages

The bracket provides a stable mechanical connection at the panel edge and is suitable for repeated installation and removal. Its metal construction offers strength and durability in industrial and commercial environments, and the compact form factor minimises protrusion from the mounting surface. The side-mounted arrangement allows access to the front face of the panel without interfering with rear cabling or internal components.

Suitable for

• Mounting control panels in equipment racks and enclosures
• Securing small displays or indicator panels to supporting frames
• Fixing enclosure fronts where front access must be preserved
• Retrofitting or replacing side-mount fasteners in industrial installations

Key specifications

• Material: formed metal for mechanical strength and rigidity
• Mounting method: side-edge clamp for panel-to-frame attachment
• Compatibility: designed for use with thin-panel edges and small displays (check panel edge thickness before installation)
• Finish: industrial protective coating to resist corrosion in typical indoor environments
• Profile: low-profile design to minimise protrusion from the mounting surface

How to use

Position the Baks BUF30 bracket on the panel edge so the clamp engages the panel face and the supporting structure. Align the bracket with the fixing points on the supporting frame, then tighten the fastening screws or bolts to achieve a secure clamp without deforming the panel. Verify that the panel sits square and that the front face remains unobstructed. If multiple brackets are required, install them at equivalent positions along the panel edge to distribute load evenly.

Usage recommendations

Before installation, confirm the panel edge thickness and material compatibility with the bracket. Use corrosion-resistant fasteners appropriate for the environment, and avoid over-tightening to prevent panel damage. For applications subject to vibration or dynamic loads, secure additional mounting points and periodically inspect fastenings for integrity.
