Color-Plated T-Shaped Screws For Aluminum Profiles

Product introduction

Color-plated T-type screws, also known as T-slot screws, are special fasteners with a rectangular head and flat sides. They are named because their cross-section resembles the letter "T". It is usually used in conjunction with a special T-slot nut or T-slot. It is a key connecting element in the installation of molds, mechanical equipment and various workbenches. Its core design lies in the T-shaped head, which can directly slide into the T-slot of the machine tool workbench or aluminum profile, and can be moved and locked at any position in the slot to achieve rapid positioning and flexible compression of the connected parts. The screw shaft is often designed with coarse or fine teeth to meet different locking force requirements. The surface color zinc plating treatment not only gives it a beautiful rainbow-colored metallic luster, but also provides excellent anti-corrosion and anti-rust capabilities, which can effectively cope with challenges such as oil pollution and moisture in the workshop environment. This product is widely used in CNC machining centers, stamping die fixation, tooling fixtures, modular aluminum alloy frame systems and the construction of automated production lines. It provides great convenience and reliability for scenarios that require frequent adjustments and quick disassembly and assembly. It is an indispensable and efficient fastening solution in modern industrial manufacturing.

 

Product features

1. Quick positioning and flexible clamping

Its core advantage lies in the T-shaped head design. During installation, the head can slide directly into the equipment workbench or the T-shaped slot of the aluminum profile, and can be easily moved in the slot to achieve stepless adjustment and rapid positioning of the fixed parts. Tightening the nut provides a solid clamping, especially suitable for applications that require frequent position adjustments.

 

2. Excellent corrosion resistance and weather resistance

The surface is treated with colored zinc plating (rainbow zinc). This treatment not only gives the screws a beautiful rainbow-colored appearance, but also forms a dense protective film on the surface, providing excellent anti-rust and anti-corrosion capabilities. It can effectively resist coolant, oil and humid air in the machine tool environment and extend its service life.

 

3. High strength bearing capacity

The wide contact surface of the T-shaped head can disperse the load well, evenly transmit the clamping force to the T-shaped groove, avoid local stress concentration, and provide stronger shear resistance and load-bearing stability than ordinary screws, especially suitable for heavy-load clamping.

 

4. Convenient installation and disassembly

Compared with hexagonal bolts, when installing in a T-slot system, there is no need to penetrate from one end of the slot, and can be directly inserted from any position in the slot, simplifying the operation steps. Used with tools such as socket wrenches, it can be quickly disassembled and assembled, greatly improving the efficiency of mold replacement and workstation adjustment.

 

Product application

1. Machine tool molds and tooling fixtures

This is its most classic application area. It is widely used on the workbench of machining centers, milling machines, stamping machines and other equipment to quickly fix molds, jigs or workpieces. The T-shaped head can easily slide to any position in the slot to achieve rapid positioning and locking, which greatly facilitates mold replacement and work station adjustment.

 

2. Modular aluminum alloy frame system

In equipment frames, protective covers, and workbenches built with industrial aluminum profiles (such as lean tubes), T-shaped screws can be placed directly from the grooves of the profiles and used with flange nuts. They are the core fasteners for connecting various accessories (such as plates, hinges, casters), realizing rapid assembly and flexible adjustment of the structure.

 

3. Automated production lines and logistics equipment

It is often used for the installation and fixation of conveyor lines, assembly platforms, and robot workstations. Its color-coated zinc layer can effectively resist oil pollution and moisture in the environment, ensuring long-term reliability of the connection, while meeting the needs of frequent modifications and expansions of the production line.

 

4. Testing equipment and welding stations

On coordinate measuring machines, inspection fixtures, welding positioners and fixtures that require precise positioning, T-shaped screws provide stable and repeatable clamping force to ensure that the workpiece does not shift during processing or measurement.

 

FAQ

Q: Do these screws have to be used with T-slots?

A: Yes, this is its core design purpose. Its T-shaped head is specially designed to be embedded in the preset T-shaped groove on the machine tool table, aluminum profile or other components. By matching with the nut, the workpiece can be quickly clamped. It cannot be used with normal through holes.

 

Q: Will the T-shaped head be worn due to sliding in the groove?

A: Regular products will undergo heat treatment (such as quenching) to improve the hardness and wear resistance of the head. There is minimal wear under normal use and proper torque. However, long-term and frequent rough sliding or severe overload tightening may still cause wear of the T-slot or screw head, affecting the fit accuracy.

 

Q: What precautions should be taken during installation?

A: Mainly pay attention to two points: Alignment and insertion: The long side of the T-shaped head should be aligned with the direction of the T-shaped slot, then put it vertically, and then rotate 90 degrees to get it stuck in the slot. Avoid brute force: When tightening nuts, use a torque wrench and follow recommended values. Over-tightening may cause the T-shaped head to "seize" in the groove or even damage the T-shaped groove.
