New in store: Cube connectors for aluminum profiles

Reading time approx. 2 minutes

New cube connector sets for aluminum profiles are now available in our shop. These practical connecting elements are ideal for joining two or three aluminum profiles face-to-face, at right angles, and secured against twisting.

The cube connectors allow for a precise connection at an exact 90-degree angle while also ensuring a clean, visually appealing appearance. Important for assembly: a suitable thread must be cut into the end faces of the aluminum profiles beforehand.

What are cube connectors used for?

Cube connectors are used to connect aluminum profiles precisely and stably. They are particularly suitable for frame constructions, racks, machine frames, workstations, protective enclosures, or individual DIY projects with aluminum profiles.

The right-angle connection at 90 degrees allows for clean alignment of profiles. At the same time, the twist-proof connection ensures that the construction remains stable.

Which variants are newly available?

• Cube connector set groove 8 30x30
• Cube connector set groove 8 40x40

This provides suitable connection solutions for common aluminum profile constructions with groove 8.

Scope of delivery

The scope of delivery includes one cube connector, three screws, and three cover caps for complete assembly. For the 40x40 variant, three washers are also included.

The cover caps ensure that the end faces of the aluminum profiles are neatly covered. This not only creates a stable connection but also a visually appealing appearance.

Cutting threads in aluminum

For mounting the cube connector sets, an end-face thread is required in the aluminum profile. Aluminum is a relatively soft metal that can quickly stick to the cutting edges of tools when threading. Therefore, sharply ground taps and suitable cutting fluids should be used.

Cutting oil or cutting paste helps minimize material buildup, improve cutting quality, and reduce tool wear. This allows for a clean and load-bearing thread to be produced.

Example: For an M8 internal thread, a core hole with a diameter of 6.8 mm is usually required. The thread is then cut with a suitable tap.

Recutting threads

Recutting involves renewing an existing, damaged, or dirty thread. For internal threads, this is done with a tap, and for external threads, with a die.

Recutting is particularly useful for maintenance, repair, or reuse of profiles when a screw connection needs to grip properly again. For severely damaged threads, special thread repair kits can also be used.

Advantages of cube connector sets

• stable connection of two or three aluminum profiles
• exact 90-degree angle
• twist-proof assembly
• clean face-to-face connection
• including screws and cover caps
• clean covering of profile end faces
• ideal for frame and profile constructions

Assembly instructions

Before assembly, a suitable thread must be cut into the end face of the profile. The cube connector can then be fastened with the enclosed screws.

To facilitate assembly, the thread or screw should be lightly lubricated. This makes it easier to screw in the screws and allows for a clean connection.

After assembly, the cover caps are inserted. This covers the profile ends and gives the finished construction a clean, professional appearance.

Conclusion

The new cube connector sets are a practical solution for anyone who wants to connect aluminum profiles stably, at right angles, and with a clean appearance. Whether for professional frame constructions or individual DIY projects: with the new connectors, precise 90-degree connections for groove-8 profiles can be realized.

FAQ about cube connectors

What are aluminum cube connectors used for?▸

Cube connectors are used to connect two or three aluminum profiles face-to-face at a 90-degree angle. They are suitable for frames, racks, machine structures, protective enclosures, and DIY constructions.

How do you assemble a cube connector?▸

For assembly, a suitable thread is first cut into the end face of the aluminum profile. The cube connector is then fastened with the enclosed screws and closed with the cover caps.

Does the aluminum profile need to be machined?▸

Yes, for assembly, an end-face thread is required in the aluminum profile. The thread should be cut cleanly and, if necessary, produced with cutting oil or cutting paste.

Which variants are available?▸

Newly available are cube connector sets for groove 8 in sizes 30x30 and 40x40. This allows common aluminum profile constructions to be connected at right angles.

What is included in the scope of delivery?▸

The scope of delivery includes one cube connector, three screws, and three cover caps. For the 40x40 variant, three washers are also included.

What are the advantages of cube connectors?▸

Cube connectors enable a stable, right-angled, and twist-proof connection. They also cover the end faces of the profiles and ensure a clean appearance.

Which thread is required?▸

The required thread depends on the specific connector and screw set. For M8 threads, a core hole of 6.8 mm is usually used.

Should lubricant be used when cutting threads?▸

Yes, cutting oil or cutting paste facilitates thread cutting in aluminum. They reduce material buildup on the cutting edges and improve the quality of the thread.
