The product loading capacities published in these Technical Data Sheets are only valid for the mentioned codes or
technical data generation methods and the defined application conditions (e.g. ambient temperature load capacity not
valid in case of fire, data not valid in support structures when mixed with third party products), assuming sufficient
fastener, base material and building structure strength. Additional calculations, checks and releases by the
responsible structural engineer might be needed to clarify the capacity of base material and building structure.
Suitability of structures combining different products for specific applications needs to be verified by conducting a
system design and calculation, using for example Hilti PROFIS software. In addition, it is crucial to fully respect the
Instructions for Use and to assure clean, unaltered and undamaged state of all products at any time in order to
achieve this loading capacity (e.g. misuse, modification, overload, corrosion).
As products but also technical data generation methodologies evolve over time, technical data might change at any
time without prior notice. We recommend to use the latest technical data sheets published by Hilti.
In any case the suitability of structures combining different products for specific applications need to be checked and
cleared by an expert, particularly with regard to compliance with applicable norms and permits, prior to using them for
any specific facility. This book only serves as an aid to interpret the suitability of structures combining different
products for specific applications without any guarantee as to the absence of errors, the correctness and the
relevance of the results or suitability for a specific application. User must take all necessary and reasonable steps to
prevent or limit damage. The suitability of structures combining different products for specific applications are only
recommendations that need to be confirmed with a professional designer and/or structural engineers to ensure
compliance with User`s specific jurisdiction and project requirements.

Hilti hinge for seismic bracing with MQ channels, MQ system, made of steel
S275JR according to DIN EN 10025-2, electro galvanized surface finish,
typically used to install seismic-resistant bracings made of channels or
struts. The hinge consists of two parts: a 6 mm steel base hinge with a 11.5
mm hole and a 4 mm steel channel connector with one fastening slot with
butterfly shape hole. The hinge mechanism is secured with a M10x25 bolt
class 8.8 and a M10 nut class 8. The channel connector is provided with a
side steel fold for a better locking mechanism with Hilti MQ channels (C
profiles). Material weight: 239 g

Design criteria used for loading capacity
Methodology:
• Finite Element Analysis (FEM)
• Hardware tests
Standards, codes:
• EN 1990 Basics of structural design 03.2003
• EN 1991-1-1 Eurocode 1: Actions on structures – Part 1-1: General actions– densities, self-weight, imposed loads
for buildings 09.2011
• EN 1993-1-1 Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures – Part 1-1: General rules and rules for buildings 03.2012
• EN 1993-1-3 Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures – Part 1-3: General rules- Supplementary rules for cold-
formed members and sheeting 03.2012
• EN 1993-1-5 Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures – Part 1-5: Plated structural elements 03.2012
• EN 1993-1-8 Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures – Part 1-8: Design of joints 03.2012
• EN 1998-1 Eurocode 8: Design of structure for earthquakes resistance – Part 1: General rules, seismic actions
and rules for buildings
Software:
• ANSYS® 14.5
• Mathcad Prime® 2.0
Environmental conditions:
• No low (<-10°C) temperatures, no high (> 100°C) temperatures
• No fatigue loads
Conclusions
The results of tests, combined with FEM analysis, show that the channel connector MQS-AC-10 can efficiently be
used for the installation of seismic-resistant bracings of non-structural elements. The final capacity for a particular
seismic-resistant support depends on the set up of the used components and its interaction with the base material.

the installation of seismic-resistant bracings of non-structural elements. The final capacity for a particular seismic-
resistant support depends on the set up of the used components and its interaction with the base material.

The results of tests, combined with FEM analysis, show that the rod connector MQ3D-AS can efficiently be used for
the installation of seismic-resistant bracings of non-structural elements. The final capacity for a particular seismic-
resistant support depends on the set up of the used components and its interaction with the base material.

Hilti seismic 90° angle, MQ system, made of steel S275JR according to DIN
EN 10025-2, 4 mm steel with electro galvanized surface finish, provided
with 2 lateral wings with 10.5 mm, typically used for connection of two
perpendicular Hilti MQ channels and for installation of seismic-resistant
