Kadant Unaflex Accessory
Control Units
Rod-and-plate control units that add rigidity to rubber expansion joints and limit their movement.
Description
Control units provide additional support to rubber expansion joints by adding rigidity and strength when proper anchoring is not available. They are also used to restrict the movement allowances of an expansion joint, and are recommended where excessive stress and motion might over-stress the joint. The number of control rods installed is dictated by the pressure requirements of the system and can give greater control over lateral movements.
Key features
- Corrosion-resistant gusset plates and steel rods
- Fully-threaded steel rod
- Designed to limit compression or continuously restrain axial movement
- Internal nuts or compression sleeves available to prevent over-compression
Applications
- Protects expansion joints by limiting or controlling thrust forces
- Extended operating life of the joint
