Connection Elements and Selection Criteria

This document section provides an overview of various connection elements used in assembly, along with their suitability based on specific criteria.

Connection Elements Listed

• Bracket
• Inner bracket
• Bolt connector
• Central bolt
• Quick connector
• T-connector
• Tensioning connector

Selection Criteria and Recommendations

The elements are evaluated against several performance and application criteria:

• High feed force
• High moment
• High torsional moment
• Minimal finishing work
• Minimal assembly effort
• Low parts costs
• Subsequent mounting in closed frame
• Adjustment possibility
• Support of surface elements
• Internal connection (concealable)

Technical Specifications

The document references specific technical parameters such as bolt dimensions (e.g., D17 M12) and strength class (e.g., 9.8), indicating the mechanical properties required for certain connectors.

Suitability Ratings

Each connection element is rated on a scale (e.g., 5) for suitability against the criteria, highlighting which connectors are recommended or unsuitable for particular applications.

Summary

This section serves as a guideline for selecting appropriate connection elements based on mechanical demands and assembly considerations, balancing factors such as strength, cost, ease of assembly, and aesthetic requirements (concealment).
