What is the 1.25” End Blank Connector used for?

The 1.25” End Blank Connector is designed to terminate or cap the end of a 1.25-inch modular carbon fiber tube structure. It is typically used in DragonPlate's modular tube connector systems to provide a clean, finished end or to prevent debris and contaminants from entering the tube.

Which DragonPlate tube systems is the 1.25” End Blank Connector compatible with?

This connector is compatible with DragonPlate's large modular round tube connector systems, specifically designed for 1.25-inch diameter carbon fiber tubes. It ensures a secure fit and seamless integration with DragonPlate's modular assembly solutions.

How do you install the 1.25” End Blank Connector?

The connector is installed by inserting it into the open end of a 1.25-inch carbon fiber tube. It is typically secured using adhesive or mechanical fasteners, depending on the application and desired permanence. For best results, refer to DragonPlate's technical guides or adhesive recommendations for carbon fiber assemblies.

What materials are used in the 1.25” End Blank Connector?

The 1.25” End Blank Connector is manufactured from high-quality materials engineered for compatibility with DragonPlate's carbon fiber tube systems. For specific material details, consult DragonPlate's product catalog or technical documentation for modular connector components.

Where can I find technical documentation or CAD models for the 1.25” End Blank Connector?

DragonPlate tube connectors provide an easy and robust method for connecting our 1.25" carbon fiber tubes to form lightweight, rigid structures.

One of the primary concerns when bonding metal fittings into carbon fiber tubes is that the metal component, when subjected to reductions in temperature, will shrink much more than the carbon fiber tube. To eliminate this problem, our patent pending connector incorporates a slotted tubular design, which has a two-fold effect. First, the slots allow the aluminum to contract circumferentially without as much change in the nominal diameter of the insert. Secondly, the slots comply with the part, further alleviating peel stresses by prohibiting the aluminum part from imparting as much peel force on the adhesive layer. In addition, this design includes a ridged outer surface. This further strengthens the bond inside the carbon fiber tube by placing more epoxy in shear (and most structural epoxies are about 100 times stronger in shear than in peel).

This combination of form, function, and resistance to thermal delamination makes our DragonPlate tube connectors a versatile and robust option for many projects. Each connector also comes with a foam plug to contain adhesive and enough bond line control glass microbeads to ensure a proper bond fit.
