The ACS Standard Compression Strut provides the same compressive capacities as the architectural system, however the formal appearance of this strut, has a shorter taper cone and no locking cover.

ACS Compression Struts utilise standard ACS Tension 520 fork end fittings and pin sets. These are connected to the CHS (circular hollow sections) by a taper cone and threaded stud.

The ACS Compression Strut system has been approved in Germany by the DIBT (Deutches Institut fiir Bautechnik).

For further information, please contact the ACS technical department.

Corrosion Protection

ACS tendons can be supplied in stainless steel or with a blank, primed, painted or dip galvanised finish.

Tolerances and Adjustments

The cutting tolerance for a CHS is +/-3 mm:

M10 to M56: +/- Vz thread diameter

M64 to M100:+/-25mm
