Sleeve Coupler(Standard scaffolding terminology,no translation needed)
Detailed Explanation:
Function:
Used exclusively to connect two scaffolding steel tubes end-to-end in a straight line along their axis,thereby extending the total length of the tube.It is the core component for achieving longitudinal extension of scaffolding tubes.
Design Features:
Cylindrical Structure:Typically a robust steel sleeve designed to match the external diameter of the tubes.
Fastening Mechanism:Secured via a wedge bolt or set screws tightened from the side to clamp the tubes inserted at both ends.
High Strength:Manufactured from drop-forged steel to withstand significant axial compression and tensile loads.
Critical Notes:
Axial Use Only:It must never be used to connect ledgers to standards(function of a right-angle coupler)or diagonal braces(function of a swivel coupler).
Safety Critical:In formwork and shoring systems,the quality and correct installation of sleeve couplers are vital for structural load-bearing safety.Deformed,cracked,or excessively worn couplers are strictly prohibited.
Applications:
Extending the length of vertical standards(uprights)in scaffolding.
Lengthening primary load-bearing members in heavy-duty support structures and falsework.
It is one of the three fundamental scaffolding couplers,alongside the Right-Angle Coupler and the Swivel Coupler.
