Stainless Steel L-SHAPED 2040 Profile Corner Outer Bracket

Product Summary

Product Name: Stainless Steel L-Shaped 2040 Profile Corner Bracket
Purpose: Connects 2040 aluminum extrusion profiles at a rigid 90° angle to build frames, enclosures, machines and structures.

Core Function:

• Facilitates right-angle joints between two perpendicular 2040 (20 mm × 40 mm) aluminum profiles.

• Provides mechanical strength and alignment for modular framing systems.

Typical Specifications

Compatibility

• Designed for 2040 series aluminum extrusion profiles (20 mm × 40 mm cross-section).

• Fits standard T-slot/V-slot profile systems used in industrial framing, robotics, CNC machines and DIY builds.

Material

• Stainless Steel body (common grades used include AISI 304 or AISI 316 depending on supplier).

• Stainless steel improves corrosion resistance over typical mild steel or aluminum brackets and is suitable for moist, chemical or outdoor environments.

Physical Dimensions (approximate & dependent on supplier)

• Bracket leg lengths typically sized to accommodate material thickness and provide secure engagement inside the profile slot.

• Often bracketing surfaces are sized similar to 2040 profile webface (~40 mm height on one side).

• Thickness and deployed width vary by manufacturer. (Exact data sheet should be consulted for precise numbers.)

Fastening Interface

• Pre-drilled or machined bolt holes matched to the extrusion slot hardware (often M5 screws and T-nuts, depending on profile system).

• Hole centers and thread sizes align with standard profile fastening hardware.

Finish

• Natural stainless steel (mill finish) or passivated for improved corrosion resistance.

Features

Structural and Mechanical

• 90° Right-Angle Joint: Provides robust structural corner connection for frame assembly.

• High Strength: Stainless steel construction offers higher tensile strength and durability relative to aluminum alloy brackets — useful where higher load capacity or vibration resistance is desired.

Corrosion Resistance

• Stainless steel resists rust and oxidation, ideal for humid, coastal, food processing, laboratory or outdoor applications.

Modular Assembly

• Works with standard T-slot / V-slot extrusion hardware (T-nuts and socket cap screws).

• Enables repeatable, adjustable, reconfigurable structural connections.

Installation

• Bracket legs slip into extrusion slots and are tightened with bolts and nuts inside the profile channels.

• Screws typically inserted from outside for secure fastening.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Frames: Machine guards, enclosures, benches, automation assemblies.

• CNC & 3D Printing: Rigid corner joints on printer or router frames.

• Robotics & Automation: Structural support for robotic arms, conveyors and fixtures.

• Custom Equipment: Workstations, shelving, fixtures requiring corrosion-resistant joints.

Performance Considerations

Load Capacity

• Stainless steel brackets generally have higher static loading capacity than aluminum counterparts.

• Actual performance depends on bracket geometry, thickness, screw grade and tightening torque.

Assembly Tips

• Use matching T-nuts and screws sized for 2040 profile (usually M5 hardware).

• Ensure perpendicular alignment during tightening for maximum rigidity.
