Basic Functions and Main Types of Scaffold Couplers
Mar 18,2026
Scaffold couplers are key fasteners used to connect and secure steel tube members in steel tube scaffold systems. Their main function is to connect vertical poles, horizontal rails, and diagonal braces into an integrated load-bearing structure . Based on connection methods and functional differences, scaffold couplers are mainly divided into three basic types: right-angle couplers, swivel couplers, and sleeve couplers . Right-angle couplers are used to connect two steel tubes vertically, bearing main node loads; swivel couplers are suitable for connections between diagonal braces and horizontal rails, with adjustable angles; sleeve couplers are used for axial extension of steel tubes . Additionally, specialized anti-slip couplers are available based on anti-slip requirements . Couplers are typically manufactured from malleable iron or cast steel, achieving tube connections through bolt fastening .
