Screws
(1,308 companies)
A screw is a wide-encompassing type of hardware fastener that attributes its mechanical capabilities to the helical groove that extends around the circumference of the device's shank. These threads provide the friction and traction that serves a screw's purpose: to assemble or position two workpieces in relation to each other. While used synonymously, screws and bolts are not mechanical clones.
Latches

...a gasket and/or panel against a frame. Deadbolt latches have a lock bolt that extends into the door jam. Draw latches or tension latches pull surfaces together and hold them closed. Hasps, hinged metal straps that fit over a staple, are usually secured...
Traction and Tension Dynamometers
(25 companies)
Traction dynamometers and tension dynamometers are used to measure force in tension, traction and weighing applications with cables, guy wires and chain.
Web Tension Sensors
(40 companies)
Web tension sensors are used to measure static or running tension in webs or sheets during the manufacture of textiles, paper, and other sheet materials.
Hose Clamps and Band Clamps
(357 companies)
Spring hose clamps uses spring action to tighten. Using a tool, the clamp is expanded to fit into position. Once placed, spring action of clamp holds and secures in position. T-bolt band clamps, or simply T-bolt clamps, are band clamps that use a T-bolt...
Spring Washers
(157 companies)
Spring washers, sometimes called disc springs, lend their mechanical capabilities to the unique profile of the material: the irregularities of the washer compress with a proportionate resistance to return to their predeflected shape. Spring washers are employed in applications where assemblies need a part to take up play, maintain assembly tension, compensate for expansion or contraction in materials, or to absorb intermittent shock loads and provide a controlled reaction under dynamic loads.
Tensiometers and Surface Tension Meters
(66 companies)
Surface tension and wettability instruments measure fluid surface tension, a tangential force that keeps a fluid together at the air/fluid interface. Surface tension is a direct indicator of the quality of any chemical and any formulation.

Banding and Strapping
(251 companies)
...tools such as tensioners, sealers, or friction welders. Steel banding and strapping is designed for heavier, palletized loads; plywood cases and wooden crates; and sharp-edged objects. Stainless steel banding and strapping is made of metals from the Type...
Web Tension Indicators
(38 companies)
Web tension indicators measure and report tension parameters in web or other flat-sheet production processes. Some types of web tension indicators have control functionality as well.
Belt and Chain Tensioners
(89 companies)
Belt and chain tensioners apply and maintain correct tension on power transmission drive systems.
Cable Assemblies
(2,031 companies)
Cable assemblies are collections of wires or cables banded into a single unit with connectors on at least one end.
Cable Ties
(696 companies)
Cable ties hold groups of cables together for support and ease of maintenance.
Cable Transits
(62 companies)
Cable transits are bulkhead or barrier modules that allow electrical cables to pass through, while providing various levels of sealing, strain relief, and damage protection, depending on the application requirements.
Mechanical Control Cables
(65 companies)
Mechanical control cables provide a push-pull or other action to mechanically actuate components. Mechanical control cables consist of mechanical cable with attached eyes, forks, studs, handles or other fittings.
