Detailed Introduction of 5 Common Industrial Aluminum Extrusion Fittings and Their Functions

Industrial aluminum profiles can achieve fast modular assembly. One important point is that industrial aluminum extrusion fittings are used for connection instead of welding, which can shorten the assembly time of frames and structures. Let's learn about the functions of common industrial aluminum extrusion fittings and connectors:

Industrial aluminum extrusion bolt and nut series

This series is an indispensable part of the entire fittings and connectors. Bolt and nut are required for every joint between two profiles. Common specifications and models include T-bolts, T-nuts, elastic nuts, slide-in nuts, hex bolts, semi-circular hex bolts, flange nuts, etc.

When using them with angle fittings, they need to be selected according to the size. When used alone as a profile connection, drilling is required first. If slide-in nuts are used, they need to be embedded in the profile slot first.

Angle fitting series of industrial aluminum profiles

This series is one of the most frequently used fittings during the installation of aluminum profile frames. This aluminium angle profile series is generally used with bolts and nuts and needs to be selected according to the size of the profile.

There are different sizes of angle fittings for different series of profiles. Common sizes of angle fittings include 20 series, 30 series, 40 series, 45 series, 60 series, and 80 series. The 40 series includes the 4080 angle fitting series.

Industrial aluminum extrusion end cap series

This fitting has two types: national standard and European standard. When using it, it is necessary to select end cap series of aluminum extrusions profiles according to the category and model of different profiles.

Assembly and decoration fitting series of industrial aluminum profiles

This series plays a decorative role in the frame assembly process. Commonly used fittings include hooks, handles, seals, hinges, feet, lifting eyes, etc. They are generally used more frequently in the installation of mechanical equipment protective covers.

Special connection fitting series of industrial aluminum profiles

This series of connectors is generally used to meet the special connection methods of frame structures. Common types include three-dimensional connectors, turning connectors, straight bar connectors, active connectors, hinges, anchor connection pins, diagonal connectors, etc.

Straight bar connectors can be used to achieve straight extension connections between two profiles. Three-dimensional connectors can connect 2 or 3 profiles and are also dedicated connectors for semicircular profiles. The turning angle connector is used to connect two profiles that are not perpendicular.

The above is a summary of the functions of commonly used fittings and connectors of industrial aluminum profiles! The usage methods and functions of different industrial aluminum extrusion fittings and connectors are different. Users can select connectors according to their installation needs.
