Linear Actuators
(754 companies)
Electric linear actuators have an output rod that provides linear motion via a motor driven ball screw, lead screw or ACME screw assembly. The actuator's load is attached to the end of a screw or rod and is often unsupported.
Bolts
(1,288 companies)
A bolt is a type of threaded hardware fastener that is used to position two workpieces in specific relation to each other. A bolt is specifically designed to be used with a mating, internally threaded hole or nut, which will maintain the bolt's alignment as well as the material's position on the bolt. While used synonymously, screws and bolts are not mechanical clones.
Anchors
(499 companies)
Anchors are mechanical fasteners that attach an object to a support structure. Product categories include concrete anchors, expansion anchors, lag screw anchors, machine anchors, screw anchors, spring anchors, wall anchors, and wedge anchors. Toggle bolts are also available.
Nuts
(1,308 companies)
Nuts are a type of hardware fastener with a tapped inner diameter. They are used with a mating threaded bolt or rod to secure components. There are many sizes and varieties of nuts; each with a particular fastening purpose. Some nuts can be applied without tools, and others may have special designs to prevent the nut from loosening.
Gears
(647 companies)
Gears are rotating mechanical devices employing 'teeth' in order to transmit torque between separate axes. Two or more cooperating gears are called a transmission and can produce a mechanical advantage by changing speed, torque or rotation direction.
Plugs, Stoppers, and Inserts
(345 companies)
Plugs, stoppers and inserts fit into holes or cavities and are designed for the ends of shafts, tubes, pipes, fittings, connectors, screws, bars, or other shapes.
Gearboxes and Gearheads
(975 companies)
Gearboxes and gearheads, also called gear reducers or speed reducers, are power transmission devices that use a gear arrangement in an enclosed housing to transfer energy, increase torque and reduce speed from one device to another. Gearboxes may also be referred to as gear reducers or speed reducers.
Roller Screws
(26 companies)
Roller screws convert rotary to precise linear motion in a similar manner to ball screws or lead screws. Due to the greater number of contact points of the rollers compared to balls or thread on thread contact, a roller screw provides higher stiffness and smooth motion.
Thread Rolling Machines
(36 companies)
Thread rolling machines generate threads by displacing and flowing metal into a thread shape.
Screw Machines
(45 companies)
Screw machines are machine tools that use a number of cutting tools, fed into a rotating rod or bar, to make screws and other turned parts.
Ball Screws
(237 companies)
Ball screws convert rotary motion to linear motion, or torque to thrust, and vice versa. They are primarily a power screw with a train of ball bearings riding between the screw and the nut in a recirculating track.
Shoulder Screws
(94 companies)
Shoulder screws, also called stripper bolts, are a type of machine screw with integral threads that are only present on half or less of the screw shank. A shoulder screw has a partially smooth shaft that will allow the bolted material some rotation and movement around the screw axis, while the threaded end will typically have a nut to maintain the screw's position.
Torque Sensors
(200 companies)
Torque sensors, gauges, instruments, and switches are used to measure torque in a variety of applications.
Washers
