Description
Technical Overview
The Joining Plates provide a heavy-duty mounting solution that delivers a strong external fastening method for connecting two or more linear rails. Because engineers build projects requiring high connection strength, these plates offer infinite positioning possibilities to maximize flexibility in structural designs.
Furthermore, these components facilitate straightforward integration into mechanical frameworks. Consequently, they establish rigid perpendicular joints and mount easily to compatible systems using 10mm Low Profile M5 Screws.
Applications
In practice, users commonly employ these heavy-duty joining plates to secure framework joints, align linear rail structures, and extend the functional length of extrusion systems by connecting rails end-to-end. As a result, they provide a reliable fastening solution for building sturdy mechanical assemblies, custom CNC machinery, 3D printers, and automated pick-and-place systems.
Additionally, the plates fit perfectly when integrating with standard V-Slot series and most 2020 aluminum extrusion profiles. Therefore, builders typically pair them with M5 hardware and low-profile screws to ensure clear, precise, and strong connection points across perpendicular configurations.

Maker Store Tips and Tricks
-
Ensure the extrusion profiles are cut squarely and aligned perfectly before fully tightening the mounting screws.
-
Use 10mm Low Profile M5 Screws for optimal clearance and thread engagement within the extrusion channels.
-
When building high-load or high-vibration structures, consider applying a thread-locking compound to the fastening screws.
