Standard: DIN EN ISO 13918 – Type VBS
Combined material: AlMg3 body + copper-plated steel 4.8 / 1.4301 / 1.4571 insulation pin
Ground point on one side
Specific application: Insulation fastening on aluminium base material
Product description – Type VBS
The BEARFIX® VBS bimetallic insulation pin is designed for fastening insulation materials to aluminium base material.
According to the BEARFIX® catalogue, the VBS consists of an aluminium blind stud with a blind hole and an insulation pin pressed in from one side with a ground point.
The main difference compared with the VBS-MS is the point geometry: VBS uses a ground point, whereas VBS-MS uses a chisel point.
Main characteristics
- Bimetallic design – AlMg3 body combined with a steel or stainless-steel insulation pin.
- Ground point on one side.
- For aluminium base material.
- Lengths from 30 to 200 mm for the catalogue diameter.
- Available with copper-plated steel 4.8, 1.4301 or 1.4571 pin material.
