Block for guide rail »18TO18« – Vertex mounting block with S45C, M6 T-slot

A Block for guide rail »18TO18« engineered as a compact mounting block for guide-rail fixtures, suitable for small-format assemblies and modular clamping systems

• Solid S45C construction for durable use
• M6 T-slot compatibility for standard fixtures
• Compact 18 × 22 × 12 mm footprint
• Supplied as a set of 4 pieces

Secure support for guide rails that reduces setup variance

Made from S45C, this mounting block provides a reliable balance of strength and machinability, making it suitable where repetitive positioning is required. The medium-carbon steel construction offers predictable mechanical behaviour during clamping and light machining operations, which translates to consistent alignment over repeated setups. By choosing a compact steel block rather than softer materials, the risk of deformation under standard fixture loads is reduced, supporting process stability in production and workshop environments.

Space-saving dimensions that simplify layout planning

The 18 × 22 × 12 mm footprint is designed for installations where compactness matters without compromising positional control. Its small form factor allows multiple blocks to be positioned close together along a guide rail, enabling fine adjustment of supported components and more efficient use of bench or machine bed space. The clear, standardised dimensions also simplify CAD planning and spare-part management, allowing technical teams to incorporate the block into existing assemblies with minimal adaptation.

Standard interface and kit format for fast integration

Compatibility with an M6 T-slot ensures the block can be used with common clamping rails and fixtures, reducing the need for bespoke adaptors. Supplied as a set of 4, the kit supports multi-point support strategies and makes it straightforward to standardise a workstation or small production cell. Each block weighs approximately 0.13 kg, which keeps handling simple during assembly and lowers the risk of overloading delicate jigs. The combination of a standard thread interface and modular quantity makes the product practical for recurring setups and quick replacements.
