Description
Technical Overview
The 2 Hole Joining Strip – 40 Series functions as a vital structural hardware component. Technicians actively deploy this specific aluminium strip to establish secure inline joints along the lengths of modular structural profiles. First, you place the hardware component directly inside or against the open extrusion channels. Then, you secure the unit into position by using standard fastening hardware. Consequently, the strip provides critical structural alignment for the system while it simultaneously delivers robust joint reinforcement across adjacent linear sections. Furthermore, this continuous physical link allows engineering teams to construct extended structural spans safely and efficiently.
Applications
Assembly teams regularly utilize this two-hole joining strip when they build extended machine frames, long linear rail guides, and large-scale modular enclosures. These builders typically deploy the metal hardware alongside standard 40 Series structural framing profiles to safely extend overall profile lengths. Because this setup creates a strong bridge, it removes any requirement for specialised machining services. Additionally, the component performs exceptionally well when you must join aluminium extrusions for custom industrial partitioning and heavy framing designs. Because the strip ensures a completely flush interface, the compact profile delivers a clean, unobtrusive finish across the entire length of your structural system.

Maker Store Tips and Tricks
-
Ensure both mating faces of the aluminium profiles are cut perfectly square before tightening the joining strip fasteners.
-
Use standard T-nuts or compatible slot hardware inside the 40 Series profile tracks to establish a reliable clamp down.
-
Periodically inspect the fastener torque values if your profile extension is integrated into systems experiencing high vibration.
What makes T-Slots such an easy assembly task?
Building frames out of T-Slot extrusions is easy because they eliminate the need for specialized tools or welding, simplifying the assembly process. Building frames using T-Slot Linear Rail will require;
- 40 Series T-Slot Extrusions: These are the main structural components, usually made of aluminium, with slots along their lengths that allow you to easily connect various parts and accessories.
- 40 Series Brackets and Connectors: These are specialized components designed to fit into the T-Slot extrusions and secure them together at various angles. They include corner brackets, T-nuts, L-shaped brackets, and other connectors.
- Fasteners: Bolts, screws, and nuts are required to attach the brackets and connectors to the T-Slot extrusions securely.
- Tools: Basic hand tools like wrenches, Allen keys (hex keys), and screwdrivers are necessary for assembly. Additionally, a saw may be needed to cut the T-Slot extrusions to your desired lengths.
