3 Modular Dovetail Building Components Articulating Arm Components Aluminum Enclosed Track Rail Components Tool Holders and Accessories Introduction to Modular Components Len & Jerry are two hard-working machine shop/design & build veterans, who knew that working smarter was essential to surviving in today s competitive market place. With extensive experience in machining technology, they have created a standard mechanical platform that will revolutionize the way that many machines and other metal products are designed and assembled. This low cost, robust, and flexible product line is a must for machine builders, manufacturing facilities, designers, and virtually anyone who wants an easy method to configure any metal product. Combine LEN & JERRY S components with steel or aluminum tubing and the possibilities are unlimited, and the cost is very modest. Compared to those expensive extrusion-based systems, LEN & JERRY S offers savings of 50% or more. Coupled with our Limited Lifetime Warranty, our components save dollars and make sense. Start saving time and money today on both Design and Build while delivering the highest quality product possible. LEN & JERRY S is where the smart money is.

There are two sets of hole patterns for 1³ ₄ x 3, 90 to each other for fixed caster direction tracking. For off set loads near the edge of the cart, the casters can be moved outward to the end two holes. Caster wheel brackets need an additional two holes similar to Creform type products. These brackets can also be used to tie two vertical tubes together that support overhanging loads as shown on the front cover ¹ ₂ Dia. Tube Dia.

The square hole pattern allows tracking of the fixed wheel in either direction. 1 Caster Support Bracket shown using 1³ ₄ x 3 hole spacing. In this view fixed caster is tracking 90 to the two 1 dia. support tubes. Page 5

7 Caster Applications Casters can be mounted outside the cart frame when you have overhanging loads. Use extra length tubing for this extension. Tubes need to be a heavy enough wall thickness or solid bar stock to support the load plus shock load. This example is the engine carrier, shown on the front cover. The tow hooks are forged lift rings that are a standard product of. The cart tubing is 1¹ ₂ dia. x ¹ ₈ wall steel. Casters are normally mounted in the center of the bracket, but can be mounted outward to increase stability of the cart. Page 6

9 Modular Dovetail Building Components Articulating Arm Components Aluminum Enclosed Track Rail Components Tool Holders and Accessoriesa Why Use Components? Machined from Extruded Material versus Cast to Shape clamps are machined from 6061-T6 extruded aluminum. Working the metal, by extruding will dramatically increase its strength. Such alloys like 6061-T6 are further strengthened by heat treatment. The advantage of extruded aluminum over cast aluminum is the elongation of the grain structure, which increases the hardness, tensile strength, and the amount it will elongate before breaking. Cast products have no grain direction and exhibit a random grain pattern that varies in size with usually some porosity. They have very low elongation, about 3%, which makes them brittle with little or no warning of failure. Products made from 6061-T6 extruded aluminum can be designed around a minimum elongation of 10.0% T6 extruded aluminum usually exhibits typical properties of 17% elongation compared to 3.5% elongation for cast materials. The typical tensile strength for extruded aluminum is about 25% greater than of a cast product. In clamp designs, we take advantage of the high elongation achieved from extruded aluminum. We use hole sizes typically 1/64 larger than the tube to be clamped, which allows us to clamp on standard mill tolerance, out of round tubing/bar stock-steel or aluminum. The wall thickness on the clamp that wraps around the tube is thinned down so that it will take the shape of the tube OD. When the clamp fits the shape of the tube OD, the additional surface contact adds rigidity for stiffness and non-rotation. Cast clamps have a precision sized hole about.002 larger than the OD of the tube. The clamps are not very elastic, but will close on a tube that is a few thousandths smaller. Each one of clamps has a starter hole to add roll pins for positive locking if required. Standard mill tubing is readily available at most suppliers that sell metal bar stock, and is about 1/3 the cost of precision sized tube, which is much more difficult to find. This allows you to buy tubing locally in your area, to save you money!
