What would you call this other than a strut channel

[pwrslave86]

Hi all,

Can you please take a look at the attached picture and tell me if there is a name other than a strut channel for the slotted part. I've been looking for someone who makes 316 stainless or aluminum strut channels like this one (about 13/16 by 13/32) but can't find one.

I thought maybe I should search using a different name than strut channel.

Thanks.

Here's something that's close, but not exactly like your picture.

Slider rail? slider track?

Incidentally if you want a lot of it the extrusion dies for a custom aluminium section would be around $2000



Cheers

@DLiteE30

I've already seen that one. I need the strut in 316 SS or Aluminum. That company doesn't have them.

It's the right term, I think, and wikipedia agrees, and gives a list of brand/trade names for the stuff (techs call it uni-strut where I come from):

Never seen it in Aluminum...more common aluminum rails are the t-slotted type, like these guys' stuff:

Have a look at "sail" track-used on sailing boats
Would come in 316 s/steel.
Check out Sail boat Hardware perhaps

A search for "aluminum mounting channel" turned up this site.

I think that their A Channel has the dimensions you are looking for. Comes in Al and SS.
