JW Winco is now adding connectors of glass fibre-reinforced polyamide to its standard products range and offering a more aesthetic alternative for tube-based constructions which are an indispensable part of building machinery and plants.
These connectors can withstand temperatures up to 212°F (100°C) and are used in applications where corrosion resistance is important, weight is limited, or visual appearance is a significant factor. After all, these plastic connectors feature smooth and matte surfaces as well as attractive colouring to enable aesthetic design.
The connectors are designed to fully encompass typical construction tubes to create a nonpositive clamping connection. Tubes are then fixed in place with socket cap screws and nuts of stainless steel or with a hand lever. These components are specially adapted to the plastic used and are particularly useful when the tube constructions need to be modified frequently or without tools.
JW Winco offers these plastic tube connectors in a variety of configurations and dimensions. If different tube diameters are required, the company highlights that special ribbed adapter bushings, also of polyamide, can be used.
