nVent HOFFMAN S2MTA is a die-cast aluminium SYSPEND 281-MAX tube adapter that attaches to a cut-to-length suspension tube with internal setscrews and provides mounting holes without requiring the tube to be drilled and tapped.
£167.00
The nVent HOFFMAN S2MTA is a purpose-designed tube adapter for the SYSPEND 281-MAX suspension system. It is used when a SYSPEND tube has been cut to a custom length and drilling and tapping new mounting holes into the shortened tube is not desirable, providing a convenient alternative for completing the modified suspension profile.
The S2MTA attaches to the cut tube using internal setscrews and provides the required mounting holes at the newly cut end. This allows compatible SYSPEND 281-MAX components to be connected without machining a new standard hole pattern directly into the aluminium tube. nVent specifies that the Tube Adapter should be installed only on the housing side of the suspension arrangement.
Manufactured from die-cast aluminium with a durable RAL 9005 black finish, the S2MTA is designed to integrate neatly with the wider SYSPEND 281-MAX system. It weighs approximately 0.73 kg and is supplied with installation instructions, a gasket and the hardware required for attachment to the tube.
Industrial HMI suspension systems often require tube lengths tailored to the dimensions of individual machines and operator stations. When a standard SYSPEND 281-MAX tube is shortened, its original end mounting arrangement is removed. Preparing the modified end conventionally requires accurately drilling and tapping new holes before another suspension component can be installed.
The nVent HOFFMAN S2MTA provides a practical alternative by fitting to the cut tube with internal setscrews and creating a new mounting interface at the shortened end. This simplifies customised suspension-arm construction while retaining compatibility with the modular SYSPEND 281-MAX system, making it particularly useful for machine builders producing application-specific HMI support arrangements.
