Specifications

What Is the Chromium-Plated Cross Bosshead Used For?

When a setup needs more than one upright, a cross-type bosshead links the rods into a frame. In a mechanics lab, two stands joined by a horizontal bar through cross bossheads can carry pulleys, a spring balance or a pendulum without wobbling, and in chemistry the same arrangement holds a long reflux or distillation train at several points. The heat-treated malleable iron body is tough enough for regular tightening and loosening, and the chromium plating keeps the surface clean and resistant to rust.

Choose the thumb screw for frames that are rearranged often and the safety screw where the screw should stay with the bosshead. As part of mechanics lab equipment in India’s school and college laboratories, tighten each joint firmly, confirm the frame is square before adding weights, and dry the plated surface after any spill.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Screw type: heart-type safety screw or thumb screw.
• Your rod diameter, to confirm the d/Ø 16,5 and thread 8 listing suits your stands.
• How many cross joints each frame needs, plus spares.
• Matching plated bossheads, bases or clamps to be quoted in the same enquiry.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Bosshead Cross Type Malleable Cast Iron Chromium Plated differ from a standard bosshead?
Its angle is listed as 90+180, so the Bosshead Cross Type Malleable Cast Iron Chromium Plated can clamp rods crossing at 90° or aligned at 180°. A standard bosshead holds only the 90° position, which limits it to simple clamp arrangements.

What rod size and thread does the Bosshead Cross Type Malleable Cast Iron Chromium Plated have?
The Bosshead Cross Type Malleable Cast Iron Chromium Plated is catalogued with d/Ø 16,5 (decimal comma) and thread 8. The unit is not given in the listing, so share your rod diameter with ScienceLab for confirmation before ordering.

Which screw should I order with the Bosshead Cross Type Malleable Cast Iron Chromium Plated?
Order the thumb screw if the Bosshead Cross Type Malleable Cast Iron Chromium Plated will be re-set often by hand, or the heart-type safety screw where the screw should stay with the bosshead. State the choice in your enquiry.

Why is the Bosshead Cross Type Malleable Cast Iron Chromium Plated made of tempered cast iron?
Tempered (malleable) cast iron is heat-treated for toughness, so the Bosshead Cross Type Malleable Cast Iron Chromium Plated copes with repeated tightening and loosening, while its chromium plating gives a clean, corrosion-resistant surface for teaching benches.
