Frequently Asked Questions

1.5” Threaded End Connector with Stud—Product Details & Usage

What is the 1.5” Threaded End Connector with Stud used for?

The 1.5” Threaded End Connector with Stud is designed to provide a secure, threaded connection for DragonPlate's large modular round carbon fiber tubes. It enables rigid assembly of tube structures without welding or specialty bonding, making it ideal for modular builds in robotics, aerospace, and industrial applications.

Which tube sizes are compatible with the 1.5” Threaded End Connector with Stud?

This connector is specifically designed for use with DragonPlate's 1.5-inch diameter modular round carbon fiber tubes. Compatibility with other tube sizes is not guaranteed; always verify tube specifications before assembly.

How is the 1.5” Threaded End Connector with Stud installed?

The connector is threaded onto the end of a compatible 1.5-inch carbon fiber tube and secured using the integrated stud. Installation typically requires aligning the connector with the tube end and tightening to ensure a rigid fit. For detailed instructions, refer to DragonPlate's technical documentation or contact customer support.

What materials are used in the 1.5” Threaded End Connector with Stud?

DragonPlate's modular connectors, including the 1.5” Threaded End Connector with Stud, are engineered for durability and strength. While specific material details for this connector are not listed on the page, DragonPlate typically uses high-quality metals and composites to ensure compatibility with carbon fiber tubes and long-term performance.

Where can I find technical documentation or CAD models for the 1.5” Threaded End Connector with Stud?

DragonPlate tube connectors provide an easy and robust method for connecting our 1.5" 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.
