What are telescoping tubes?
Telescopic tubes are perfect for applications requiring the different pieces of material to sleeve or expand inside one another. Our line of telescoping tube is ideal for carts, camera booms, adjustable racks, robotic extensions, flag poles, sensor equipment, and much more.
What lengths do square tubing come in?
Stock Lengths: Mechanical – 20 Ft. Structural – 20 & 40 Ft.
How does telescopic tubing work?
Simply put, telescoping tube is a type of tubing used for applications where one tube fits inside and slides in that tube together, allowing it to extend into a longer tube. Telescoping tubes pipe sizes vary, but can be done in both small and large sizes.
How do telescoping mechanisms work?
Telescoping in mechanics describes the movement of one part sliding out from another, lengthening an object (such as a telescope or the lift arm of an aerial work platform) from its rest state.
How strong is 4 inch square tubing?
A 4-inch x 4-inch piece of square steel tube with a wall thickness of 0.25 inches can carry 5.41 lbs per foot of length. As square steel tubing gets bigger, the wall thickness also increases. So, for example, at 8-inches x 8-inches, you can choose from a wall thickness of 0.25, 0.375, 0.5, and 0.625 inches.
How much does square tubing cost?
Steel square and rectangular tubing are low carbon cold formed electric resistance welded tubes. These types of tubes offer a high strength-to-weight ratio and a relatively low in cost….Material Specifications.

What are telescoping bearings used for?
In these applications, telescoping bearings can provide high load capacity and high rigidity in a retracting footprint. For many people, the term, telescoping bearings brings to mind drawer slides such as those found in our kitchens and offices.
Do telescopic bearings need to lift the load at the end?
Many telescopic bearing systems require the user, at the end of travel, to lift the load in order to counteract deflection in the slide before sliding it back to its retracted position. But with the proper preload and load capacity, this is not necessary, even under the highest loads.
What is a telescopic tube used for?
Telescopic Tubing Telescopic tubes are perfect for applications requiring the different pieces of material to sleeve or expand inside one another. Our line of telescoping tube is ideal for carts, camera booms, adjustable racks, robotic extensions, flag poles, sensor equipment, and much more.
What kind of pins do you use for telescoping tubing?
Pins for Telescoping Tubing Also known as gravity pins, these pins fit in holes on telescoping tubing to adjust the length. Wire-Lock Pins for Telescoping Tubing Sized to fit snugly around pipe and tube, these pins use spring force to keep the retainer closed.
