Optical Shaft Cross Clamp Fixed Bracket Parallel and Vertical Connection Locking Aluminum Double Hole same diameter Connector(8mmx8mm) The Optical Shaft Cross Clamp Fixed Bracket is a lightweight aluminum connector designed to create a rigid cross joint between shafts of equal diameter. It enables both parallel and vertical connections with a locking mechanism to keep components secure and aligned. Key benefits Secure crossconnection: provides a stable link between two 8 mm diameter shafts, maintaining alignment under load. Locking connection: builtin locking feature minimizes drift and holds the assembled structure firmly in place. Light and durable: aluminum construction offers strength with low weight and good corrosion resistance. Symmetrical fit: double hole configuration (two holes of the same 8 mm diameter) ensures consistent spacing and balanced load. Key attributes Material: aluminum Hole configuration: double hole, both holes have 8 mm diameter (8 mm x 8 mm) Connection type: cross clamp for parallel and vertical orientations Diameter compatibility: designed for 8 mm diameter shafts or rods Function: fixed bracket that enables a cross connection with locking to prevent loosening Functional performance Enables precise crossoriented mounting between components, supporting both parallel alignment and perpendicular (vertical) connections. The locking feature helps maintain repeatable positioning in optical setups, instrument frames, and mechanical assemblies. Provides a compact, rigid joint suitable for bench, lab, or workshop environments where stability is important. Applications and use cases Optical bench alignment: connect optical components or sensors to a common frame using two 8 mm shafts, ensuring stable perpendicular or parallel positioning. CNC and 3D printer frames: form robust cross joints between guide rails or shafts to improve rigidity and dimensional stability. Robotic or automation frames: create compact cross connections between motor shafts and support rails where precise alignment is required. How to use Align the two 8 mm shafts with the two holes in the bracket. Insert appropriate locking elements to secure the shafts within the holes. Tighten or engage the locking mechanism to maintain a fixed cross connection in the desired orientation (parallel or vertical). Care and maintenance Periodically check the locking integrity and resecure as needed to preserve alignment. Wipe with a dry or lightly damp cloth to remove dust; avoid harsh chemicals that could affect the aluminum surface. This description reflects the product's brandtypical features: an aluminum fixed bracket designed for parallel and vertical crossconnection between 8 mm diameter shafts, with a locking mechanism and a double 8 mm hole configuration for a symmetrical, stable, and versatile connector.
