Mounting Systems centre clamp 30-40 mm; 40 mm (natural aluminium)

The Mounting Systems end clamp is a specialised fastening element that secures the end of a row of solar modules to the substructure. In this version, it is designed as a universal clamp that flexibly covers module frame heights from 30 to 40 mm. The specification "40 mm" refers to the width of the clamping surface or the length of the clamping body to ensure optimum force distribution on the frame.Thanks to the sophisticated design, the clamp automatically adapts to the respective frame thickness when tightened. This makes it an extremely efficient solution for installers, as only one clamp model needs to be stocked for different module types.Highlights at a glanceVariable clamping range: Suitable for all standard solar modules with a frame height between 30 mm and 40 mm.High stability: The 40 mm wide clamping surface ensures a secure hold and protects the module frame against point loads.Robust materials: Made from weather-resistant aluminium and stainless steel screws, ensuring permanent corrosion resistance.Easy adjustment: The elongated hole or integrated spring allows the clamp to be precisely positioned and tightened at the end of the rail.Universal compatibility: Suitable for standard Mounting Systems profile systems and comparable aluminium mounting rails.Secure row termination: Ensures that the outer modules remain firmly attached to the rail even at extreme wind speeds.Areas of applicationThe end clamp is used exclusively at the outer ends of a module field:Photovoltaic roof installationsFor securing the first and last module of a row on pitched or flat roofs.Single module installationFor installations of individual modules (e.g. balcony systems), a total of four end clamps are required, as there is no module transition.Commercial PV parksFor use in large-scale systems where fast and reliable installation of the module termination is required.Installation & safety instructionsCorrect positioningThe clamp must be flush with the module frame. Ensure that the clamping foot is securely anchored in the mounting rail slot.Tightening torqueTighten the screw with the torque recommended by the system manufacturer (usually between 8 and 10 Nm) to achieve optimum clamping force without deforming the material.Overhang of the railAllow the mounting rail to protrude approx. 2–5 cm beyond the module to provide sufficient space for the end clamp to anchor stably. Properties CategoryEnd clamp alu natural Clamping range (frame height)30 – 40 mm MaterialAluminium (high-strength) Colour / FinishAlu natural (silver) Clamp length40 mm Area of applicationEnd fastening of the module field CompatibilityMounting Systems rail profiles Mounting typeClick or screw fixing Weather resistanceUV-resistant and corrosion-resistant  FAQs about the Mounting Systems end clampCan I use this clamp between two modules as well?No.Between two modules, centre clamps must be used as these fix both frames at the same time. The end clamp is shaped on one side only to hold just one frame at the end of the rail.Does the clamp fit both 30 mm and 40 mm frames equally?Yes.The mechanism is designed so that the clamp can be continuously tightened within this range. You just need to screw in the bolt until the clamping arm rests firmly on the module frame.Is this clamp also available in black?Yes.For full-black modules, Mounting Systems also offers this model in a black anodised version, so the fastening is not visually conspicuous on the dark frame.Is the clamp supplied as a set with screw and sliding block?As a rule, yes.Most variants are delivered as ready-to-install sets. However, please check in advance whether the included sliding block or click block (EC) matches your specific rail profile.

The Mounting Systems centre clamp is an indispensable connecting element for the secure fixing of solar modules to substructures. This special version is designed as a universal clamp and covers module frame heights from 30 to 40 mm. In the version "sw" (black) it is the perfect optical complement for modern full-black modules and black anodised rail systems.The clamp is supplied including the EC component (Easy Click), which significantly shortens assembly time. Thanks to the click mechanism, the clamp can be engaged at any position on the mounting rail from above, without the need to laboriously slide it in from the side.Highlights at a glanceUniversal clamping range: Flexibly applicable for solar modules with a frame thickness between 30 mm and 40 mm.Easy Click (EC) technology: Quick and easy one-handed installation by direct engagement into the groove of the mounting rail.Aesthetic design: The black anodisation ensures a homogeneous appearance when using black module frames.High material quality: Manufactured from weather-resistant aluminium and stainless steel for maximum durability.Secure hold: Ensures permanent and vibration-resistant fixing of the modules to the substructure, even under high wind and snow loads.Pre-assembled set: The clamp is supplied ready for installation, including screw and the special click block.Areas of applicationThe centre clamp is used to fasten two adjacent modules:Photovoltaic rooftop systemsUse on pitched roofs in combination with Mounting Systems standard aluminium profiles.Free-field & flat roof systemsWherever modules are mounted in rows side by side and a clamping distance between the modules is required.Visually sophisticated projectsEspecially for systems where a continuous black look (full black) without silver accents is desired.Installation & safety instructionsPositioningThe centre clamp is placed between two solar modules. Make sure that both module frames are flush with the clamp before you tighten the screw.Tightening torqueObserve the tightening torque specified by the manufacturer (usually approx. 8–10 Nm) to ensure secure fastening without damaging the module frame.End of rowPlease note that centre clamps are only intended for connecting two modules. For the outer end of a module row, you need the appropriate end clamps. Properties  CategoryCentre clamp set Clamping range (frame height)30 – 40 mm Clamp materialAluminium (anodised) Colour / FinishBlack (sw / black) Area of applicationCentre fastening between two modules CompatibilityStandard mounting rails (Mounting Systems) Weather resistanceUV-resistant and corrosion-resistant FAQs on the Mounting Systems centre clampDoes this clamp fit all mounting rails?Optimised for Mounting Systems.The clamp is specially developed for the groove geometry of Mounting Systems profiles. For third-party rails, it should be checked in advance whether the click block (EC) engages securely.Why is the clamp specified for a range (30-40mm)?Due to the integrated spring/adjustment.The clamp is designed so that it adapts variably to the frame height when tightened. This saves storage capacity and increases flexibility on the construction site.Is the black colour scratch-resistant?Conditionally.The black anodised layer is very robust and weather-resistant. Care should still be taken when assembling with tools to avoid mechanical scratches in the colour layer.How many clamps do I need per module?Usually 4 fixing points.Two centre clamps (top and bottom) are required per module transition. For a row: (number of modules - 1) x 2 centre clamps.

The Mounting Systems roof hook 170-7-40 is a high-quality and flexible fastening solution for photovoltaic systems on tiled roofs. Thanks to its 2-way adjustability it can be optimally adapted to different batten thicknesses and tile heights. This enables a tension-free installation of the substructure, even on uneven roof surfaces or with varying roof tile formats.Manufactured from robust stainless steel, this roof hook provides extremely high corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. It forms the stable foundation for the connection between the rafters and the mounting rails of your PV system.Highlights at a glanceMaximum flexibility: The 2-way adjustability allows the height under the cantilever (to the roof batten) as well as the vertical adjustment of the mounting rail.High-quality material: Manufactured from stainless steel (1.4301), which guarantees decades of durability and protection against the elements.High load capacity: The material thickness of 7 mm ensures superior stability and safety against high wind and snow loads.Optimum dimensions: With a base plate of 170 mm length, the hook offers a generous contact surface for secure screw fastening on the rafter.Time-saving installation: The slotted hole version on the cantilever allows tolerances to be easily compensated when installing the rails.Universally applicable: Suitable for most common kinds of pantile (e.g. Frankfurter Pfanne, Erlus, Braas).Areas of ApplicationThe roof hook is the ideal choice for demanding pitched roof installations:PV systems on tiled roofsSecure anchoring of the substructure directly into the rafter on standard coverings.Compensation for roof unevennessThanks to the adjustment option, “waves” in the roof can be compensated to achieve a visually perfect, flat module field.Regions with high loadsThanks to the solid 7 mm construction, it is particularly suitable for areas with increased structural requirements.Installation & Safety InstructionsProfessional screw connectionFasten the roof hook with at least two suitable pan head screws (stainless steel) directly into the rafter. Make sure the required screw-in depth is achieved.Tile recessThe overlying tile must be professionally worked with an angle grinder (flex) at the point where the hook emerges to avoid "tile breakage" due to direct contact.Maintain spacingEnsure that a gap of approx. 5 mm is maintained between the roof hook and the tile below to prevent load transfer to the tile. Properties CategoryRoof hook 170-7-40 Adjustability2-way adjustable Material thickness7 mm MaterialStainless steel (highly corrosion-resistant) Cantilever height40 mm (basic dimension) Base plate width170 mm Area of applicationTiled roofs (Frankfurter Pfanne and similar) Type of fasteningRafter mounting using wood screws Weather resistanceVery high / maintenance-free FAQs about the Mounting Systems roof hook 170-7-40Why is an adjustable roof hook better than a fixed one?Flexibility with the roof batten.Since roof battens can vary in thickness (e.g. 30 mm or 40 mm), this hook can be adjusted so that it does not rest on the lower tile and at the same time does not lift the upper tile.Does this hook fit all mounting rails?Yes, when using M10 hammer head screws.Using the slotted hole at the upper end of the hook, almost all standard aluminium profiles can be securely fastened with an M10 screw and locking nut.How many roof hooks do I need per module?Depending on statics.On average, around 2 to 2.5 roof hooks per module are calculated. In snowy areas or on the roof edge (wind load), however, the number may be significantly higher.Do I always have to flex the tiles?Yes, with standard pantiles.To ensure that the tiles lie flat again after installation and are not stressed by the hook, it is absolutely necessary to machine the tiles.
