Frequently Asked Questions

Modular Carbon Fiber Tube Connections

What types of tube connections can be made with DragonPlate modular connectors?

DragonPlate modular connectors support a wide range of tube connections, including female clevis to male clevis, male clevis to flat ended connector, single sided clevis to flat ended connector, adjustable joints in three axes, cube connectors for parallel and perpendicular connections, end thread female/male clevis to clevis, flange to end thread clevis, and tee joint tube connectors. This versatility enables virtually unlimited structural configurations for carbon fiber tube assemblies.

Which tube sizes are compatible with DragonPlate modular connectors?

DragonPlate modular connectors are available for 0.5", 0.75", and 1" carbon fiber tubes. Each connector type is specifically designed to fit these tube diameters, ensuring secure and precise assembly. Links to compatible tubes for each connector size are provided on the product page for easy selection.

What are the main connector types offered for modular tube connections?

The main connector types include female clevis, male clevis, threaded end connectors (with or without stud), single sided clevis, modular cube connectors, flange connectors, and tee joint tube connectors. These components allow for a variety of joint configurations, including parallel, perpendicular, and adjustable connections along multiple axes.

How do modular connectors enable virtually unlimited tube connection possibilities?

By combining different connector types and tube sizes, users can create complex structures with multiple axes of adjustment, parallel and perpendicular joints, and custom geometries. Modular cube connectors, for example, allow for both parallel and perpendicular connections, while clevis and threaded connectors provide flexibility for rotational and linear adjustments. This modularity supports a wide range of applications, from robotics to custom frames.

Where can I find compatible tubes and technical documentation for modular connectors?

Links to compatible tubes for each connector size are provided directly on the product page. For technical documentation, CAD models, and detailed specifications, visit DragonPlate's CAD models page and product catalogs. These resources help ensure proper integration and design for your modular tube assemblies.
