T Slot Measurement Rating: 4,0/5 6298 reviews

With t-slot aluminum, you get that. No need to weld. No need to clamp. A t-slot aluminum project is all simple attachment work. Need additional length? Need shorter length? T-Slot aluminum is much easier to work with in comparison to welded steel. But wait, it gets better. T-slot aluminum is also corrosion resistant. It will not rust. You may want to verify the slot size. Unless someone recut them they should be a common size (1/2', 9/16' or 5/8'). Take flat file and run it down both sides of the slots to remove any burrs or mushrooming. T-slot sensors are 24VDC and available in PNP and NPN output transistor logic with NO (normally open) or NC (normally closed) configuration. Sensors and mating cordsets meet NEMA 1, 3, 4, 6P and IEC IP67 ratings. Macron T-slot Sensors can provide users with limit, position or output signaling back to a control system. Sizes and Prices T-track is available in lengths from 1 ft. And averages about $4.50 per lineal foot. It is usually sold in 1- or 2-ft. Increments, but some brands can be special ordered to a specific length. Most T-tracks are approximately 3/4 in. Wide with a thickness of either 3/8 or 1/2 in. These 36' plastic T-track tape measure inserts fit any universal T-Track to give you accurate measurements along your fence in increments of 1/16'. Use them for fast, foolproof adjustments of your fence stops or for general measuring. Ideal for use with all Universal T-Tracks, Multi Tracks, and Double T-Track Fence Caps.

Although it may seem complicated, the concept behind t-slot aluminum is very simple. The end of each piece of aluminum is shaped like a “T”. What this does is allow you to combine other pieces of aluminum without any welding. T-slot aluminum is modular – i.e., it’s easily changeable. You can move and connect the aluminum profiles however you’d like, with added accessories like angle connectors. Ultimately, you can create anything from workstations, to conveyors, to tradeshow booths, to furniture.

T-Slot Aluminum Metric & Inch Profiles

Approximately 96% of the world uses the metric system. Why? To be honest, it’s much easier to use. It’s great for working in machinery, since it’s very easy to convert among different units.

Why T-Slot Aluminum is Your Best Bet

Two of the most important things a manufacturing engineer needs: flexibility and versatility.

With t-slot aluminum, you get that. No need to weld. No need to clamp. A t-slot aluminum project is all simple attachment work. Need additional length? Need shorter length? No problem. T-Slot aluminum is much easier to work with in comparison to welded steel.

But wait, it gets better. T-slot aluminum is also corrosion resistant. It will not rust. And it’s strong, too. Need to build something that will last in the winter weather? T-slot aluminum actually gets stronger with lower temperatures.

Did we mention t-slot aluminum extrusions are also cheaper than welding steel? Sure, steel is typically cheaper – there’s no denying that. But you have to weld it and paint it. And that costs time and money.

What T-Slot Aluminum Is Best for You?

T Slot Measurement

We break our aluminum profiles up into three separate designations – light duty, medium duty, and heavy duty.

Slot

Mill T-slot Measurements

If you’re creating something like a pet cage, sign frame, partition screen, etc. – light duty t-slot aluminum is your best bet.

T Slot Nut Measurement

If you’re creating machine base legs, machine guarding, enclosures, etc. -- medium duty or heavy duty t-slot aluminum is your best bet. If you’re creating strong rigid frames, heavy duty t-slot aluminum is your best bet.
