General Information & Specifications
BASE: The Ez2
®
base is formed out of 13 gauge steel with 13
gauge steel-formed U-Channel reinforcements. These 13 gauge steel
channels have a 4" wide x 3-1/2" deep cross-section and run the
full length and width of the base. These channels are mig welded to
the base forming a rigid structure capable of supporting the weight
of the cabinet. At each corner, a welded steel 11 gauge gusset
adds strength and rigidity to the base. Four adjustable leveling feet
allow the base to be leveled from the top of the base. The base
mechanism provides 90° indexing of the rotary file cabinet. The base
does not require the use of a foot pedal to index the cabinet.
UPRIGHTS AND LOCK: Each Ez2
®
unit has (4) upright posts
with dual durometer PVC closing strips. The posts are made from
11 gauge steel and are bolted directly to the unit base with (2)
1/4" – 20 flat head bolts per post. A lock assembly and locking rod
is supplied with each unit and is conveniently located on the right
front post. All cabinets are random-keyed. Lock bar is formed from
3/8" diameter steel rod for maximum durability. Locks have field
removable core for easy key changes. Locks can be installed on both
sides of unit. Unit can be locked in the open or closed position.
ROTARY BOTTOM: The Ez2
®
rotary bottom rides on top of the
base and is fully supported by 5/8" diameter, hardened steel ball
bearings. The letter size unit has a 19-1/4" diameter bearing cage
with 22 each, 5/8" diameter ball bearings. The legal size unit has a
24" diameter bearing cage with 44 each 5/8" diameter ball bearings.
The rotor bottom pivots on a 3/4" diameter pin and a mating steel brushing, that is mig welded to the underside of the
rotor shelf. The rotor bottom is constructed by mig welding and spot welding an 11 gauge steel bottom support plate
to an 18 gauge steel top. Two (2) each 14 gauge steel reinforcement angles are sandwiched between and support the
full length of the top and bottom plates. The 90° index indentation is formed on the bottom support plate. Slots in 1"
centers are punched on top of the rotary bottom to accept dividers.
CENTER PANELS: A structural center panel is provided with each rotary file unit. The 13-1/2" high, 16 gauge steel
panel is bolted to the inner flange of the doors for outstanding cabinet strength.
ROTARY SIDE PANELS: Each 3-piece rotary side panel is formed for maximum strength and rigidity. The outer panel
is formed from 20 gauge steel and is beveled on each leading edge for superior post clearance. The 18 gauge inner
panel is spot welded to the outer panel for high load carrying capacity. The inner door panel has holes on 1/2" center to
support and provide vertical height adjustment of accessories.
END PANELS: The end panels complete the unit and are formed from 18 gauge cold rolled steel. The end panel bolts
directly to the unit posts and converts an adder unit to a starter unit. The end panels are connected to the unit with a
keyhole system that allows panels to be installed by 1 person.
ROTARY TOP: The 20 gauge steel rotary top is formed for strength and is bolted to the side panels. The rotary top has
a 3/4" diameter welded pivot pin.
CANOPY TOP: Formed and welded for rigidity and strength, the 18 gauge canopy top is mechanically fastened to each
post. The 1" I.D. steel bushing that mates with the rotary top pivot pin is mig welded to an 11 gauge steel plate. The
bushing plate is spot welded to the center of the canopy top.
SHELF: Shelves are formed of 18 gauge steel with a 5-3/8" high integral back stop. Shelf is slotted on 1" centers to accept file
dividers. Shelf is fastened in place with four self-tapping screws and is adjustable on 1/2" centers.
F INISH: All steel parts are thoroughly cleaned using a three-stage iron phosphate washer
and then coated with an Epoxy-Hybrid powder coat finish using a state-of-the-art electrostatic
paint system. Powder coating is more environmentally friendly than liquid paint and provides a
durable uniform finish that is scratch and corrosion resistant.
