Automatic connector 40-profiles -M6 (threaded sleeve) – inline connector for lengthwise profile connections (slot 8)

The Automatic connector 40-profiles -M6 is a special version of the 40-series threaded sleeve, designed for lengthwise (inline) connections between two aluminium T-slot profiles (end-to-end). It features an extra internal M6 thread on the side opposite the access hole, allowing you to pull profiles together during installation.

This connector is used in combination with the standard Automatic connector 40-profiles to create a complete lengthwise joint like shown in the product images. It is compatible with common 40-series / slot 8 profile standards such as ITEM, ISB, ISP and I-Type.

Important: complete connection requires additional parts

This product is part of an inline connection set. For a complete connection you also need:

• Automatic connector 40-profiles (standard threaded sleeve)
• Hexagon socket head cap screw ISO 4762 M6x40

Installation notes (important)

• Left-hand outer thread (counterclockwise): the sleeve has a left-hand outer thread. Install it by turning counterclockwise.
• Insert orientation: the side with the hole must go into the profile first.
• Extra internal thread: the additional thread is a standard M6 thread for normal M6 bolts.
