2、 Main functions of support bracket
Provide bearing capacity and stability
The most basic function of the support bracket is to provide bearing capacity to ensure that the supported object can work stably. For example, in building construction, support brackets can support building structures such as beams and columns to prevent deformation or collapse due to excessive loads. In mechanical equipment, the support bracket ensures the normal operation of the equipment by stabilizing the equipment position.
Damping and Seismic Resistance
In areas with frequent natural disasters such as earthquake and strong wind, the support support can effectively absorb vibration, absorb external vibration and reduce damage to buildings or equipment. Well-designed support brackets can mitigate the impact of vibration and avoid structural damage or displacement caused by vibration.
Corrosion protection and environmental impact resistance
Under some special environment (such as ocean, chemical plant area, etc.), the support support shall have strong corrosion resistance and be able to work stably in corrosive gas, chemical substance and wet environment for a long time. For example, stainless steel, aluminum alloy and other anti-corrosion materials are often used for the support support in offshore platforms, petrochemical plants and other places.
Ensure safety
Supporting brackets can ensure the safety of buildings, mechanical equipment, pipes and other structures and prevent them from accidental damage under external force. Especially in high risk environment, the stability and safety of support bracket are directly related to the safety of the whole system.
Save space and increase work efficiency
Reasonable design of support bracket can save space, optimize structure layout and improve work efficiency. For example, in industrial piping systems, support brackets can help maintain a reasonable height and alignment of the pipe, reducing difficulties in pipe installation and maintenance.

steels
Steel is the most common material in the support bracket, especially in the application with high bearing requirements. The steel bracket is widely used for its excellent strength, stability and durability. Steel supports can be coated or galvanized to improve their corrosion resistance and adapt to different working environments.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel supports are widely used in chemical industry, marine environment and high humidity areas due to their excellent corrosion resistance. Stainless steel support can not only provide good mechanical performance, but also resist the corrosion of strong acid, strong alkali and other chemicals.
aluminium alloy
Aluminum alloy supports are used in environments where lightweight, corrosion resistant and oxidation resistant are required. It is commonly used in aviation, rail transit, electrical equipment and other industries, especially in the application with strict weight requirements. The aluminum alloy bracket has obvious advantages by virtue of its light weight.
Plastics and Composites
Plastic or composite supports are ideal for some lightweight support structures. Plastic supports are suitable for low load and low strength applications, commonly used in electronic equipment, electrical accessories and other fields. Composites, such as glass-reinforced plastics, offer greater strength and corrosion resistance than plastics and are suitable for support needs in special environments.
wood
Timber supports are typically used for low load support requirements, such as architectural formwork support, furniture support, etc. Wood supports have natural environmental protection characteristics, but their service life and bearing capacity are relatively low, suitable for temporary support structures.
