Aluminum Truss Connector

Aluminum Truss Connector – Durable and Secure Stage Rigging Solution

The Aluminum Truss Connector is a double-ended conical spigot designed to join compatible aluminium stage truss sections quickly and securely. Manufactured from EN AW-6082 T6 aluminium, the connector measures approximately 80 mm long and is designed for professional 50 mm-chord truss systems used in lighting rigs, stages, exhibitions and event structures.

Technical Specifications

Fast Conical Connection for Stage Truss

The Aluminum Truss Connector forms the mechanical joint between two compatible truss sections.

Unlike traditional bolt-and-nut systems, a conical connector system allows technicians to align truss sections, insert the connector and secure the joint using a truss pin and safety clip.

This provides a faster setup process for production crews working on temporary event structures where truss sections need to be assembled and dismantled regularly.

The tapered connector geometry also helps align adjoining truss chords accurately, creating a tight connection between compatible sections.

EN AW-6082 T6 Aluminium Construction

The connector is manufactured from EN AW-6082 T6 aluminium alloy, a high-strength aluminium grade widely used for professional truss components and connection hardware.

This alloy provides a useful combination of:

• Mechanical strength

• Low weight

• Corrosion resistance

• Dimensional stability

• Durability during repeated assembly

These properties make it suitable for touring productions, rental inventory and permanent event installations.

Designed for 50MM Truss Chords

This connector format is used with professional truss systems built around 50 mm main tubes.

Compatible systems commonly include:

• 290 × 290 mm square truss

• F34-style box truss

• FD34 truss

• HD34 truss

• Compatible triangular truss

• Ground-support truss systems

The connector itself sits inside the connection points at the end of the truss chords rather than clamping around the outside of the tube.

80MM Double-Ended Connector Design

The documented connector measures approximately 80 mm in overall length with a maximum diameter of approximately 35 mm.

Its double-ended profile allows one half of the connector to engage with one truss section while the opposite half connects to the adjoining section.

This creates a compact junction without adding a large external bracket around the truss.

Pin and R-Clip Locking System

After the truss sections are aligned, the connector is secured using a 12 mm truss pin.

A small R-clip passes through the end of the pin to prevent it from sliding out during use.

A typical connection therefore consists of:

1. Conical aluminium connector

2. High-strength truss pin

3. R-shaped safety clip

All three components must be compatible with the selected truss system.

Quick Setup for Event Production

Conical connectors are particularly useful for professional event companies because they reduce the number of threaded fasteners required during assembly.

Production crews can connect truss sections by:

• Aligning the truss chords

• Inserting the conical connector

• Bringing both sections together

• Installing the truss pin

• Securing the pin with the R-clip

This makes the system practical for touring, exhibitions, weddings, concerts and rental applications where truss structures are assembled repeatedly.

Always verify connector geometry before mixing truss components from different manufacturers.

What Is an Aluminum Truss Connector Used For?

An Aluminum Truss Connector joins two compatible stage-truss sections together.

The conical connector fits between the ends of the truss chords and is secured using a pin and safety clip.

What Size Truss Does This Connector Fit?

This connector format is commonly used with 50 mm main-tube truss systems, including professional 290 mm square truss such as FD34 and HD34-style systems.

Compatibility should always be confirmed before combining different truss brands.

What Is the Connector Made From?

The connector is manufactured from EN AW-6082 T6 aluminium alloy.

This high-strength alloy is widely used in professional truss connection systems because it combines strength with relatively low weight.

What Are the Connector Dimensions?

The documented conical connector measures approximately 80 mm in length and 35 mm at its widest diameter.

The compatible truss pin measures approximately 70 mm long × 12 mm diameter.

Does the Connector Need a Pin?

Yes. The conical connector must be secured using a compatible truss pin and R safety clip.

The connector should never be used without the complete locking arrangement specified for the truss system.

Is This Connector Suitable for F34 Truss?

This connector format is used with 290 mm-class professional truss systems with 50 mm main chords, including FD34, HD34 and many F34-style configurations.

Because tolerances and connector geometry can differ slightly between manufacturers, compatibility should be verified before mixing systems.

Can the Connector Be Used for Corners?

Yes, compatible conical connectors can be used with straight truss sections as well as correctly matched:

• Corner sections

• T-junctions

• Cross junctions

• Universal corner blocks

• Base plates

• Sleeve blocks

The connection hardware must match the truss system being assembled.

Can I Replace a Damaged Truss Connector?

Yes, damaged connectors should be replaced rather than reused.

A connector showing deformation, excessive wear, damaged pin holes, impact damage or unusual movement should be removed from service and replaced with a compatible component.

Truss Connection & Safety Requirements

The Aluminum Truss Connector is a structural connection component within the complete truss system.

Always use the correct connector, truss pin and safety clip specified for the truss geometry being installed.

Before every setup, inspect connection hardware for:

• Deformation

• Cracks

• Excessive wear

• Damaged pin holes

• Bent truss pins

• Missing safety clips

• Corrosion

• Improvised modifications

Do not substitute ordinary bolts, undersized pins or unrelated hardware for the specified connector system.

The allowable load of a complete truss structure must be based on the engineering and load tables for the complete system, not the connector alone. Professional load-bearing truss installations should be assembled and checked by qualified personnel.
