Description
Technical Overview
The Sliding T-Nut – 30 Series 10 Pack provides 10 steel, zinc-plated slide-in T-nuts for 30 series T-slot aluminium extrusion. Each T-nut loads from the open profile end and slides along the T-channel to the required bolt position. Slide to the desired location, orient the threaded hole outward, and tighten the fastener to lock the T-nut in the channel.
The steel construction provides greater strength and load capacity than the economy alternative, making these T-nuts well suited to heavier brackets, structural connections, and applications that demand a more robust fastener. Zinc plating provides corrosion resistance for indoor and light industrial environments. This pack contains 10 T-nuts.
Applications
The Sliding T-Nut – 30 Series 10 Pack is the standard fastening component for attaching brackets, accessories, and hardware to 30 series T-slot aluminium extrusion. Typical uses include corner bracket mounting, linear rail attachment, sensor bracket mounting, machine guards, and enclosure panel retention where a strong, corrosion-resistant fastener is needed.
These T-nuts accept the matching cap head bolts in M4, M5, M6, or M8 depending on the thread variant selected, and work with all 30 series brackets and accessories in the Maker Store range. For cost-sensitive builds with lighter loads, the Slide-In Economy T-Nut – 30 Series, 10 Pack is a lower-cost alternative.

Maker Store Tips and Tricks
-
- Load slide-in T-nuts before assembling the frame – once the profile end is enclosed by an end cap or adjacent profile, end access is lost.
- Add a few extra T-nuts at each slot during initial assembly – unused T-nuts can slide to their final positions later without disassembly.
- After sliding to position, confirm the threaded hole is facing outward and centred in the slot width before tightening the bolt.
- Snug the fastener lightly, verify component position, then tighten fully to lock the T-nut in the channel.
- Do not over-tighten fasteners in aluminium extrusion – apply correct torque to prevent stripping the T-nut thread or deforming the slot.
