Symons Silver Forming
System Panel Design
|
The
Symons Silver forming system is a pre-engineered, reusable, factory-built
design. Because there is no measuring, sawing, drilling, or nailing you
maximize productivity and efficiency.
Due to its light-weight design, unique patented
hardware and accessories and long service life, it is a productive simple and
low cost system to use.
The standard panel size is 3' - 0" You are able to
increase labor productivity because of the large panel size, which increases
the square footage of contact area in a single unit.
The System is designed and manufactured
consistently with a known strength factor, which is a major consideration to
jobsite safety. All aluminum components are fully tested to provide a safe 1000
PSF load rating. The hardened steel bus hings protect siderails, provide
accurate alignment and extended service life. By supporting the 1/8" aluminum
faces with crossmembers, deflection is minimized. The forms durability is
maintained by use of I-Beam shaped siderails that are reinforced with corner
gussets.
Two standard panel and filler designs are offered by
Symons, the 6-12 and 8-8. However, they do have the capability to manufacture
other hole patterns to match existing equipment. Regardless of the design, all
are manufactures to the strictest specifications which include: a siderail to
protect the recessed 1/8" aluminum face sheet. Gusset-reinforced corners that
are durable, rigid and square, and hardened steel bushings to reduce wear at
hardware connections.
The
6-12 System is designed with siderail holes 6 inches from the end and
then 12 inches on center. Panel and fillers 26 inches or more in width are
designed with a channel section crossmember to maximize the strength-to-weight
ratio. Fillers from 4 inches to 24 inches are designed with a trapezoidal
crossmember to reduce weight while maintaining strength. The 1/8" aluminum face
minimizes deflection.
The
8-8 system is designed with siderail holes 8 inches on center. This hole
pattern will match the existing 8-24 equipment in use by by contractors.
Crossmembers are trapezoidal in shape to allow for hardware clearance on this
tighter hole pattern. The 1/8" aluminum face sheet minimizes deflection.
