Galvanised Steel Mast Foot for Tubes Ø 30–60 mm – with Serrated Clamp and Earthing Connection
The AS46162 is a steel mast foot designed to provide lower support and clamping for suitable antenna mast tubes with outside diameters from Ø 30 to 60 mm.
According to the available product data, the mast is secured using a serrated clamp, an Ø 8 mm U-bolt and two wing nuts.
The mast foot is manufactured from 2.7 mm steel sheet, and all components are galvanically zinc plated.
An earthing terminal screw with threaded connection is also provided as a connection point within a correctly designed earthing or equipotential bonding system.
For mast tubes Ø 30–60 mm
The mast foot is suitable for tubes from:
Ø 30 mm
up to Ø 60 mm
according to the available product data.
Serrated mast clamp
The serrated clamp supports a firm grip around the mast tube and helps resist unwanted rotation.
Actual holding performance depends on:
mast diameter
surface condition
wall thickness
tightening force
mast length
antenna load
wind exposure
The installation should therefore not be regarded as absolutely rotation-proof under all conditions.
Ø 8 mm U-bolt
The mast is clamped using an:
Ø 8 mm U-bolt
according to the available product information.
Two wing nuts
The clamping system includes:
2 wing nuts
2.7 mm steel sheet
The mast foot is manufactured from:
2.7 mm steel sheet
according to the product data.
Galvanically zinc plated
All components are galvanically zinc plated to support corrosion protection in typical antenna installations.
Mechanical anchoring required
The AS46162 is not intended to act as an unsecured free-standing mast base.
It must be mechanically fixed to a suitable load-bearing surface or structural support.
The required screws, anchors or bolts depend on the actual substrate and load.
Additional upper support may be required
Depending on mast length and antenna loading, the mast foot may be used as the lower support point of a larger mast structure.
A second upper support point may be required for longer or more heavily loaded masts.
Satellite and terrestrial antenna applications
Depending on the complete mechanical design, the mast foot may be used for suitable:
satellite antenna masts
DVB-T/T2 antenna masts
DAB/DAB+ antennas
FM antennas
radio antenna structures
No confirmed maximum antenna size or load is specified.
Earthing terminal
The product includes an earthing terminal screw with threaded connection.
This provides a connection point only.
It does not by itself constitute a complete:
antenna earthing system
equipotential bonding system
lightning protection system
Any required electrical protection must be designed for the complete installation.
