Protects People & Equipment
Magnesium safety blocks are used to comply with OSHA machine tool guarding standards for operator safety.
They also protect your equipment by shearing at a 45-degree angle like a shear pin if subjected to an impact load condition.
Determining Static Loads
Properly sized safety blocks support the combined weight of both the ram and upper die in an open position.
Multiply the total calculated weight by a minimum safety factor of TWO to establish the static load requirement.
Determining Proper Lengths
Subtract up to two inches from the available opening with stroke up and adjustment up to determine the proper safety block length.
Selection
Find the Profile that satisifes the static load requirement and length needed from the MAGBLOX selection chart.
