Technical product data and terminology
This page defines the terms Bendur uses in its product data. It is written for engineers, buyers and anyone comparing components in the catalog. For the values of an individual SKU, the product page and its datasheet remain the authoritative source.
Assessing compatibility
Compatibility is a recorded technical relationship. Always assess profile system, slot type, the relevant profile dimensions, connection type and thread size together. A match in product name, appearance or a single dimension is not a guarantee of compatibility. A linked SKU identifies the product concerned; the relationship may only be interpreted as far as it has been explicitly recorded.
Canonical terms
- Profile system
- The modular aluminium profile family a product belongs to, for example BSB or ISB. Components must be matched to the system recorded on the SKU.
- Profile series
- A recorded nominal size family within a profile system. It is only stated where the catalog explicitly supplies it; the series must not be inferred from a product name or from a single width measurement.
- Slot type / slot width
- The recorded T-slot interface, normally expressed in millimetres. The current Magento attribute is
slot_type; values may describe several supported slot widths, such as 8/10. - Profile dimensions
- The width and height of a profile cross-section in millimetres. Dimensions constrain which end caps, connectors and other profile-bound components will fit.
- T-slot nut
- A nut that engages in a profile slot. Slot type and thread size must be assessed together.
- Connector
- A component that joins profiles or panels. Connection type, matching system, slot type, dimensions and the required fasteners together determine whether it fits.
- Thread size
- The metric thread designation, for example M8. The existing catalog attribute is
thread_diameter; its canonical meaning is thread size, not a measured diameter in millimetres. - Machining
- A cutting, threading or other operation selected for a product. Where available, machining requirements and pricing are product option data and may depend on the chosen length or configuration.
- Cut length
- The ordered profile length. Standard, minimum and maximum lengths are recorded separately, in millimetres.

Machine-readable product data
Every product page provides schema.org Product JSON-LD and server-rendered technical data. An application that needs a limited, public product response per SKU can use the read-only catalog endpoint described in llms.txt. Magento GraphQL also exposes catalog data, but consumers should request only the fields they need and use explicit attribute codes rather than interpreting marketing copy.
