ACRO-System Stable timber connector for pillars and posts
ACRO System Connectors for constructions with simple column and beam joints.
The ACRO-System has ten basic fastener parts, which allows a large variety of different fasteners to be created, and provides multiple applications. With little effort, the connectors can also be put together and mounted on site. It allows a very high degree of pre-manufacturing and a quick process assembly.
They are used for all kinds of prefabricated timber construction, such as smaller sunrooms, pergolas or garden houses, as well as „classic“ carpentry. The ACRO-System parts are screwed on and snapped together. They are non-visible and can be disassembled at any time.
ACRO-System is designed for connections with tested stress values in structural timber construction, i.e. for simple post and beam joints.
- Non-visible – concealed, self-tightening column and beam connectors.
- User friendly – disassembly possible if needed.
- Self-tightening – through adjusting of the screws.
- Efficient – high degree of pre-manufacturing.
- Simple transport – components can be transported disassembled and simply assembled on site.
- Fast – saving of throughput times in production.
- Safe – tested by HFA (Holzforschung, Austria).
- Adjustable – the connector can be adjusted as needed.
Application:
Interior design, exhibition, constructions in exhibition and museum, sunrooms and all types of small timber structures.
Processing – milling:
To recess the connector, a groove is routed in the end-grain or the face-grain. The groove is 8.5 mm deep and done by a hand router, CNC machining center with a slot cutter Ø 15 mm, the dimension depends on the connector size. Drilling and milling jigs are available for a simple and precise processing.
The respective ACRO-System consists of several identical connector parts, made of high strength blue-galvanized weather-resistant steel, and is manufactured in Austria.
The choice of the correct ACRO-System connector depends on the respective timber dimension. The milling operations can be made optionally with a hand router or a CNC machining center. The system is tested and available in seven different sizes.
Milling: please refer to the construction manual.
* The load value refers to the transverse force in the insertion direction. Details of the stress values are of the certificate of Holzforschung Austria from 02.11.2000 and the current KNAPP catalog. At ACRO systems commercially SK-screws (5×40, 5×60, 6×40, 6×60 millimeters) Ö-Norm M5027 should be used.
