Swivel-in sliding block with spring, zinc-plated steel
The Swivel-in sliding block with spring in zinc-plated steel is a connection element for the AL modular profile system, designed for C8 and C10 slots and available in M4, M5, M6, and M8 thread sizes. The swivel spring mounting mechanism allows fast, tool-free insertion and alignment within the profile channel, with a maximum load capacity of 2200 N and a tightening torque of 10 Nm. The moulded zinc-plated steel construction provides corrosion resistance suited to industrial production environments. The component meets ESD compatibility requirements.

Swivel-in sliding block with spring, zinc-plated steel
When a connection must withstand high forces, the sliding block is the right profile nut: it bears on a wide surface under the slot lips and distributes the load better than the T-nut. Slide it in from the profile end before closing the frame and move it to the mounting point. It is the original Bosch Rexroth component, in zinc-plated or stainless steel.
Why choose it
Withstands high forces
In slot C8 it reaches 6000 N versus 4000 N for the T-nut; in slot C10 up to 24000 N in the largest profiles.
Inserted from the end
Slide it in from the end of the profile and move it to the mounting point: it must be planned before closing the frame.
Stays where you put it
With the sliding block spring it stays in position in the slot, even on vertical uprights.
Zinc-plated or stainless
Zinc-plated steel for all slots; in slot C6 there is also a stainless steel version for damp environments.
Choose it if…
- The connection must withstand high forces
- You can insert the nuts before closing the frame
- You fit brackets, connectors and plates in load-bearing joints
- You need a stainless version in slot C6
Choose another solution if…
- You need to add an accessory to an already closed frame: Standard sliding block →
- A light fixing with front insertion is enough for you: T-nut →
- You want to make custom fixings with several threads: Sliding block profile, 1000 mm bar →

What to use with the sliding block
Swivel-in sliding block
Goes in at the mounting point even in a closed frame.
Sliding block profile
1000 mm bar for custom fixings.
Always choose the sliding block for the same slot as the profile.
