OMNI*HUB SYSTEM

The Omni*Hub system utilizes 6061-T6 solid aluminum hubs that have the required attachment points drilled and threaded. This provides a pure, smooth, spherical hub with no unsightly holes. The struts have tapered solid end plugs that are welded or threaded to the ends of the struts. The struts are connected to the hubs via recessed, cadmium or zinc plated SAE 5 or SAE 8 steel bolts. The bolt at each end of a strut is screwed into a hub by rotation of the circular collar until the internal washer is bearing on the inside of the end plug. The bolt transfers the tension loads from the strut to the hub and the collar transfers the compression loads.

The Omni*Hub system has two types that accommodate various cladding, architectural and cost requirements. These types include:

Omni*Hub

A pure, smooth spaceframe system with round members, concealed fastening hardware and custom architectural finishes for maximum visual aesthetics and impact.

The Omni*Hub Standard System uses round tubing throughout the structural framework. Cladding such as fabric membrane can be tension mounted above the framework from the hub points. Cladding requiring continuous support such as glass or decking is typically supported on mullions attached to the hub points. The Omni*Hub system is extremely flexible in the forms that can be created and therefore is one of Conservatek’s most popular products.

Omni*Hub Type A

This system employs round tubing for all struts except those that support the cladding system. The cladding members are rectangular in shape, accommodating both bending and axial loads.

The Omni*Hub System Type A is an architecturally clean and exciting product that provides cost savings since an extra mullion system is not needed.
