The DIN S10 rail is a lightweight steel profile manufactured to the German standard DIN 5901. With a nominal weight of 10 kg per meter, its compact cross-section makes it an ideal and cost-effective solution for a wide range of low-speed, light-duty transport systems. The symmetrical design ensures stable alignment and simplifies installation.

Key Features and Benefits
The DIN S10 rail’s design is optimized for efficiency and ease of use in light industrial settings.
- Lightweight Profile: The low mass per meter makes this rail easy to transport, handle, and install, significantly reducing labor and equipment costs during track construction.
- Symmetrical Design: The symmetrical shape of the rail profile aids in stable alignment and ensures that the track remains true, which is essential for smooth and safe operation of wheeled vehicles.
- Cost-Effective Solution: The compact design and use of standard steel grades make the S10 rail a budget-friendly choice for light-duty applications where heavier, more expensive rails are not required.
Applications
The DIN S10 rail is a versatile product widely used in a variety of low-stress environments:
- Workshops and Warehouses: Provides reliable and permanent tracks for small industrial trolleys, carts, and specialized transport systems within factories and storage facilities.
- Underground Tunnels: Ideal for low-speed transport systems in mining and civil engineering tunnels where space is often limited and a lightweight rail is a necessity.
- Light-Duty Rail Systems: Used for guiding systems for automated machinery, small cranes, and conveyor trippers.
- Cable and Pipe Support: Can also be used as a structural component for supporting electrical cables or piping in industrial settings.
