ARCH TUBE SPREADER

• RMR-V25
• RMR-V29

Intended use

• RMR-V25 spreader tubes are used to stabilise and connect V25 roof support arches.

Technical description

• Frame spreader tubes consist of the following elements:
  • - connecting tube (connector)
  • - holder
  • - U bar or hook bolts
• The connector, which is the main spacing element, is manufactured in the following sizes: ø 42.4 x 2.9 mm or ø42.4 x 3.2 mm. Its length depends on the arch spacing. Both connector ends are appropriately beveled and formed into oval shape to achieve better adherence to the holder. Assembly holes of ø22 mm make it possible to join the connector with V25 section.
• The holder is made of a flat bar of 8 x 40. The middle part of the holder tightly adheres to the arch section and the arms fit the connector.
• U bar and hook bolts are made of plain bar with M20 thread.
• Holders, U bars, hook bolts, nuts and washers are elements used for fastening spreader to the V25 arches.
• The spacer’s design ensures appropriate fixture. You only need to pay attention to tightening the bolts.
• Spreaders are easier to assemble than the ones used so far.
• The spreader is ideal in sloping excavation areas.
• Tests with spreaders prove that they exceed the requirements concerning axial strength resistance

Technical data

RMR-V25 spreaders comply with PN-G-15000-7:1996 standard: “Supporting roadways with channel section arches”.

Installation method

• Assembly of RMR-V25 arch spreader begins with putting on first M20 hook bolts or M20 U bar and then holder. At the end of the assembly connecting tube should be fixed with M20 nuts. It is important to tighten the nuts fastening the spreader to the arch, inspect the structure regularly and tighten the connections as well as the arch locks.
  The number of spreaders depends on the size of the support arch.
  The spreader should be at least 0.3 m away from the beam ends
