Rotating/sliding connector GF-N
The rotating/sliding connector slides onto the GF-N tube and, thanks to the internal bush, turns and slides. With the dedicated locking collar it becomes an adjustable stop: the arm or level rests on the collar at the position you choose. For higher loads there is the reinforced version.
Why choose it
On-tube hinge
Side panels, doors and fold-down frames rotate directly on the upright, without separate hinges.
Adjustable levels
It slides along the upright: with the locking collar underneath, the arm stays at the height you want.
Two strengths
Standard at 31 g for light loads, reinforced at 62 g when more holding power is needed.
Application example
The rotating/sliding connector is the hinge of the tube system: it rotates and slides on the upright.
- Side panels and doors: frames that open by rotating on the upright
- Adjustable arms: shelves that slide in height and rest on the locking collar
- Tilting frames: levels that rotate on the cross member and stop at the desired angle
