Bolt Ball Node Introduction

-

 The bolt ball node is a normal connection in the steel structure project. It’s composed of Space frame Hex sleeve nut, space frame bolt ball, pin, Space frame cone head, space frame blanking plate and space frame bolt, etc.

Besides the good applicability for the steel pipes in concurrent space, which the pipes won’t create the center, it can also reduce the welding work on site. Make the structure factory, ensure the quality of the construction. It’s also convenient for transportation and installation. Based on the situation of the site can choose different installation methods. The bolt ball node can be used in all grids, similar to the hinge point, more used in the pyramid space frame.

It’s necessary to understand how the bolt ball nodes work. First, welding the cone or blanking plate with high-strength on both sides of steel pipe, put the sleeve with the high-strength ball and locked them by pin. During the installation, can twist the sleeve or pins to make the bolt turn into the bolt ball until the high-strength is near to the sleeve or cone. You can control the level of connection by twist the pin.

 

SAFS devote to the development of space frame for several years, professional manufacture of space frame for diverse projects such as aircraft hangar, bulk storage, warehouse and skylight roof, etc.

In what areas are steel structures usually used

Steel structure manufacturers can process a wide variety of products, including the following categories: 1. Single and multi-story industrial and residential buildings. 2. Office buildings, primary and secondary schools, hospitals. 3. Luxury villas, tourism buildings. 4. Modern commercial buildings for various markets. 5. Mobile buildings (demountable buildings, emergency projects). The main building materials in membrane structure engineering are steel and membrane materials. For steel structures, the main processing flow includes: material feeding → cutting → inspection → assembly welding → rust removal → numbering packaging → factory. The precautions are: 1. Materials must have a material certificate. 2. According to the cutting length and rod specifications calculated by the designer, the rods are classified and stacked for easy construction in the next step. 3. According to the penetration size of the steel pipe, considering the influence of wall thickness and groove, the automa...

Three Methods of Space Frame Installation

  What are the 3 methods of space frame  installation ? SAFS steel structure professional technical staff share with customers and friends:   1.  Splicing the entire space frame  directly, after the completion  of  the corresponding ceiling method to hoist the entire space frame  into the air, and then within a certain hovering time, weld the space frame  in the corresponding position and connect it with the whole  building . This method is faster  to install, but has higher requirements for operators. 2.  The method is relatively mild, the space  frame works directly at a high place, and the space  frame is installed bit by bit through the part that intersects with the building, that is, starting from the surrounding area and completing the work at the final center point. The schedule  is very slow, but the operation difficulty is also reduced a lot. 3. This method is mainly applicable to the quadrangular pyrami...

Space frame has become one of the important fields of modern architectural structure

Since the 20th century, the spatial structure has been greatly developed all over the world. The space frame structure is a kind of space grid structure. The so-called "space structure" is relative to the "plane structure", which has the characteristics of three-dimensional function. The space structure can also be regarded as the expansion and deepening of the plane structure. Since the advent of the space structure, it has been welcomed by people for its high-efficiency mechanical performance, novel and beautiful form, and fast and convenient construction. In stadiums, convention centers, cultural facilities, transportation hubs and even industrial plants that require large spans and large spaces, space structures can be seen everywhere.   After a century of continuous development of space structure, in terms of structural form, in addition to space frame and reticulated shell, membrane structure, tensegrity system, open and close roof, and foldable structure are...
