05-0289 – Continental Girbau Half-Hard Steel Flat Bar, 50mm x 10mm

The 05-0289 is a precision cold-drawn steel flat bar ("Plat Étiré") designed for the heavy-duty mechanical frameworks of Continental Girbau flatwork folders and ironers. With a profile measuring 50mm in width and 10mm in thickness, this component provides high structural rigidity and is commonly used as a primary mounting rail for pneumatic manifolds, heavy actuator brackets, or as a reinforcement member within the machine chassis.

The "Mi Dur" (half-hard) steel grade is specifically chosen for industrial laundry applications, offering the necessary tensile strength to resist deformation under high-cycle loads while maintaining the toughness required to absorb constant mechanical vibration. Its cold-drawn finish ensures dimensional accuracy and a smooth surface, which is essential for maintaining the perfect alignment of the folding and feeding modules.

Maintenance Tip: When installing or replacing structural bars, inspect the surrounding frame for "ovaling" of bolt holes. If found, use hardened washers to ensure the 05-0289 bar remains securely seated and properly aligned.
