Central connector 0 degrees

Central connector 0 degrees – internal fast connector for aluminium T-slot profiles (slots stay free)

The Central connector 0 degrees is a compact internal connector designed for fast, clean assembly of aluminium T-slot profile constructions. Installation requires a Ø11 mm access hole in one profile, but in return it delivers a major advantage: the other T-slots remain fully open. This makes it ideal for frames where you still want to use the profile slots for mounting plates, panels, brackets, sensors, cable holders, or accessories after the joint is made.

Because the connector sits mostly inside the profile, it creates a neat external appearance with minimal protruding hardware. It’s a popular choice for machine frames, guarding, workstations, automation structures, and general aluminium profile builds where you want a strong, repeatable connection without blocking valuable slot space.

Installation (requires profile machining)

To mount the central connector, you need to mill or drill a Ø11 mm access hole in the profile. The position of this hole along the profile depends on the profile system (profile geometry and connector location). The connector is inserted and tightened through the access hole using a hex key. Once tightened, the connector locks into the slot and clamps the joint securely.

Why choose a central connector?

• Keeps T-slots free on the connected profile faces for later mounting
• Clean look: internal connector with minimal visible hardware
• Fast assembly once the access hole is prepared
• Great for modular builds where accessories and plates must still slide into the slots

0° and 90° versions

This is the 0-degree version. A 90-degree version is also available for right-angle connections when you want the same “slots stay open” benefit in corner joints.
