Usage
The Hettich Rastex 15 eccentric connector is designed for strong and concealed joining of furniture panels with a thickness of 16 mm, ideally suited for assembling cabinets, shelves, and other modular furniture frames.
Advantages
- Ensures a solid and precise connection between panels for increased stability
- Eccentric mechanism provides easy tightening and adjustment during assembly
- Low-profile design allows hidden placement within the panel
- Quick installation time reduces labor in both manual and automated production lines
- Slight limitation: Suitable only for specified panel thickness (16 mm)
Specifications
- Zinc alloy body with precision-molded plastic components ensures reliable durability
- Cyclic tested to industry standards for longevity in repeated assemblies/disassemblies
- Connector diameter: 15 mm; optimal clamping range designed specifically for panels of nominal thickness: 16 mm; torque capacity supports robust furniture builds when correctly installed
- Differentiating feature: Eccentric cam action enables secure locking without visible fasteners, enhancing finished furniture appearance and structural integrity
How it works
The connector fits into pre-drilled holes in two adjacent panels. When the eccentric cam is rotated using a screwdriver, it pulls the connected stud or dowel tightly into place—securing the joint invisibly inside the material.
