NDE.Q Square tube expander end-caps technical informations End-cap Polyamide (PA) based technopolymer. Resistant to solvents, oils, greases and other chemical agents. Colour Black, matte finish. Features and applications The two end-cap parts are connected together by means of three pins which are housed in special counter-seats. Two cavities inside the endcap are provided for housing two hexagonal nuts DIN 934. Thanks to the tapered shape of the cavity, the end-cap exerts a pressure on the inner walls of the tube, due to the tightening of the nuts, thus ensuring the tensile strength of the connection. The level of the tensile strength depends on the tube dimensional tolerances, the roughness of the tube inner surfaces and the tightening torque applied. The end-cap enables the joining of square tubes with other elements or the installation of wheels or levelling elements with locking nut. The installation of a simple levelling element does not enable the expansion of the end-cap: for this kind of applications the use of NDL.Q end-caps is a more proper alternative. The assembly can be performed simply by positioning the end-cap inside the tube, with no need of screws or other fasteners. Special executions on requestEnd-cap without nuts or assembled with only one nut DIN 934.

Obviously, a factor that takes into consideration the importance and the safety level of the specific application must be applied to this value. The values shown in the table refer to the use of the end-cap in combination with a steel tube. The use of an aluminum tube may cause a decrease in the max limit static load equal to 25% due to possible deformations of the tube section under load.
