Tension rod for tensile structures
MACALLOY S460 Macalloys

Macalloy Grade S460 provides a unique opportunity to present the same shape and profile for all bar systems. Many more structures are moving to stainless steel tension support systems, and require to be designed in accordance with the steel work code BS5950.

Macalloy S460 benefits from being the only integrated stainless steel tension system to work to this standard. Buildings and their facades are all different and each requires an individual approach. Macalloy engineers are experienced at recognising the opportunities to stretch the design envelope, to provide a truly individual solution for your project.

Macalloy S460 is selected from high strength stainless steel to provide the optimum balance of strength, ductility and appearance.

The standard left hand - right hand tendon will provide adjustment to accommodate site tolerances;

* Cutting tolerances for bars upto M56 +/- 6mm
* Adjustment for tendons M12 to M56 +/- ½ diameter each end

All standard Macalloy S460 bars are finished with a light satin finish approximately equal to an N3 finish. Should you require any other finish please contact Macalloy to select from the wide range of optional surface treatments.
