Mounting Brackets & Plates.

What are Mounting Brackets & Plates?

Mounting brackets and plates are essential components in a wide range of engineering and manufacturing applications. They offer structural support and secure fastening in mechanical assemblies.

Commonly used in mounting, joining or reinforcing surfaces and objects, these hardware brackets are essential across industries from automotive to aerospace. For example, in machinery setups, they provide the critical reinforcement needed to maintain alignment and stability under operating conditions.

How Mounting Brackets & Plates Work

These metal brackets serve as fixed supports or connecting elements between various surfaces, enabling secure attachments and alignment. Brackets typically support horizontal loads or maintain angular alignment, while plates act as joints or reinforcement zones in assemblies. Depending on the application, mounting brackets can be fastened with nuts and bolts into place, ensuring robust integration with surrounding structures.

Materials Brackets & Plates Are Made From

Accu's range of steel brackets and mounting plates is available in several material finishes to suit a variety of environments and functional demands.

Brass-plated steel offers corrosion resistance with a classic appearance, making it suitable for decorative or low-wear applications. Bright zinc-plated steel provides enhanced protection against rust and features a clean, reflective finish ideal for general use.

Nickel-plated steel combines corrosion resistance with increased surface hardness, making it well-suited for high-durability applications. Lastly, bronze-plated steel delivers an aesthetic appeal alongside moderate corrosion resistance, making it a popular choice for visible or decorative fittings.

Sizes and Types of Brackets & Plates Available

Our selection of steel brackets includes a variety of structural bracket types, each suited to specific tasks:

• L Brackets: Ideal for right-angle reinforcement and corner joining.
• Flat Brackets: Employed in stabilising or reinforcing joins between different components.

Each type is available in multiple sizes and finishes, ensuring compatibility with your diverse engineering project requirements and aesthetic preferences.

FAQs

Q: What is the difference between braces vs brackets?

A: While both offer structural support, brackets typically join or support perpendicular surfaces, whereas braces are used diagonally to add rigidity and resist motion or deformation.

Q: Can your brackets and mounting plates be used outdoors?

A: Yes, especially those made from corrosion-resistant finishes like zinc or nickel plating, which offer protection against weather exposure.

Q: Do these brackets require specialised tools for installation?

A: No, most can be installed using standard tools and fasteners such as screwdrivers and precision screws depending on the mounting method.
