Figure 13. Straight Side Machine.
Stay away from corners of uprights as strain link mounting
locations. The best locations on the upright for strain links on
machines of tie rod construction are generally on the centerline of
the tie rod. Avoid any mounting locations where uprights have
internal reinforcements or other change of section. Insofar as
possible, strain links should be mounted in conditions of geometric
symmetry on uprights and at the same vertical height on each
upright. Figure 12 illustrates mounting locations for straight
side machines of tie rod construction.
Figure 13 shows areas to avoid on uprights of straight side
machines of tie rod construction. The cross-hatched areas should
be avoided.
