Side hinged connector M GF-N
Normal hinged joints take the end of a tube. The side M instead clamps the side of the tubes, on the rib, on both sides of the joint: you link two tubes along their sides and leave them free to rotate relative to each other even with the bolt tightened. It is for levers, arms and parallelograms of karakuri mechanisms.
Why choose it
Free rotation
The two tubes stay free to rotate even with the bolt tightened.
Side grip
No tube end needed: you mount it wherever you want along the tube.
Motorless mechanisms
Levers and articulated arms for karakuri.
