Frequently Asked Questions

1.25” Threaded End Connector Details

What is the 1.25” Threaded End Connector used for?

The 1.25” Threaded End Connector is designed to provide a secure, threaded attachment point for 1.25-inch diameter carbon fiber tubes. It is typically used in modular tube assemblies where a strong, detachable connection is required, such as in structural frames, robotics, or custom equipment builds.

Which tube systems are compatible with the 1.25” Threaded End Connector?

This connector is compatible with DragonPlate's 1.25-inch diameter modular round carbon fiber tube systems. It is intended for use with tubes that match the specified diameter and threading requirements.

How is the 1.25” Threaded End Connector typically installed?

The connector is installed by threading it onto the end of a compatible 1.25-inch carbon fiber tube. For best results, ensure the tube end is clean and properly prepared. Installation may require adhesive or set screws, depending on the specific application and connector design. Refer to DragonPlate's technical documentation or contact support for detailed installation instructions.

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

While the specific material composition is not detailed on the product page, DragonPlate's connectors are typically manufactured using high-strength materials suitable for structural applications, such as aluminum or stainless steel, to ensure durability and reliable performance when paired with carbon fiber tubes.

Where can I find technical documentation or support for the 1.25” Threaded End Connector?

Technical documentation, including installation guides and CAD models, may be available on the DragonPlate website. For specific questions or support, contact DragonPlate customer service at service@dragonplate.com or call 315-252-2559.

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.
