Longitudinal beams are primary structural members in machine frames that provide lengthwise support and stability.
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Length | Customized per machine requirements (typically 1-10 meters) | |
| Cross Section | I-beam, box beam, or custom profiles | |
| Surface Finish | Shot blasted, primed, or powder coated | |
| Weight Capacity | 5-50 tons depending on design | |
| Deflection Limit | L/500 to L/1000 |
Ranges are indicative industry figures for RFQ preparation, not a supplier commitment. Confirm every value and standard with the legal manufacturer before ordering.

Longitudinal beams run parallel to the machine's primary axis and handle lengthwise loads, while transverse beams run perpendicular and handle crosswise loads. Both work together to create a rigid frame structure.
They are connected using welded joints, bolted connections with high-strength bolts (grade 8.8 or higher), or specialized mechanical fasteners designed to transfer shear and moment forces while allowing for thermal expansion.
