Connecting strip T10

Connecting Strip – T-slot 10 (45 Series) Profile Connector Bar, incl. 4x DIN 914 M8x12 Set Screws

The Connecting Strip is a long internal T-slot bar designed to join two aluminium profiles in-line (lengthwise). It’s an efficient solution when you want to extend a profile or create a straight connection between two profiles while keeping the outside of the construction clean and unobstructed. The strip slides into the profile slot and helps align the profiles, making it a practical choice for frames, machine bases, workstations, guards, and general aluminium profile constructions.

This connector is fixed in place using the 4 included DIN 914 M8x12 set screws. Installation is straightforward: insert the connecting strip into the T-slot, position the second profile, align both profiles, and then tighten the set screws with a standard hex key. As the screws are tightened, the strip locks into the slot and holds the two profiles in position relative to each other—no complex machining or special tools required.

Compatibility

The Connecting Strip is compatible with all 45-series profiles we sell (T-slot 10).

Performance & recommendation

The Connecting Strip is designed primarily for alignment and secure positioning of two profiles in a straight line. Like other set-screw-based internal connectors, it does not pull the profiles together with high clamping force. For applications with higher loads, vibration, or where maximum rigidity is required, we recommend using more than one connecting strip per joint. Using multiple strips distributes the load and increases overall stability.
