  • What are Sealing Fasteners?
    Sealing fasteners are highly specialized fasteners that include sealing screws, sealing nuts, sealing bolts and sealing washers. Unlike ordinary fasteners, sealing fasteners are configured with a rubber O-ring (or a rubber element) that when squeezed, permanently seal out a wide range
  • Safety Siren Fastener Redesign
    Replacement of an Expensive and Unnecessary Patch Leads to a 63% Reduction in Fastener Costs and a $10,000 Saving
  • How to Choose the Right Fastener
    In the process industries, such as oil, gas, and petrochemicals, the selection of the right. fastener in the right application can be critical. The bolts used to connect companion. flanges, for example, or the screws used to connect a pipe standard to a load bearing wall, or the nuts and bolts used
  • Guide to Vibration-Proof Fasteners
    How do you insure the fasteners won't loosen in an application that is prone to vibration? Engineers frequently debate that question. Along with proper torque, common possible solutions boil down to these: Use of washers to lengthen the ratio of clamped length. Threadlockers. Safety wire (aka
  • Fastener Types & Their Uses
    While probably everyone has some sort of conception of what is considered a fastener, the actual technical definition, pun intended, can be difficult to completely nail down. Quite simply, a fastener is a mechanical component used to join two or more objects together.
  • Fastener Material Selection Guide
    So whether you are choosing washers, spacers, screws, nuts, rivets or other fasteners, the table below will help you make an informed decision for your project.
  • The Four Levels of Fastener Automation
    Fastener automation is an effective way to get more out of a process, while enhancing reliability and increasing tracking abilities. While some class of automation is an obvious solution, the question then becomes just how much automation is appropriate?
  • Custom Fasteners Made Stronger
    If you have never heard of edgewound fasteners or are not familiar with the edgewinding process, you might want to keep reading. This little known but very interesting process is not even a topic included in the five million+ articles on Wikipedia.Over the past few decades, innovations in fastener
  • A Brief History of Fasteners
    Fasteners are a tool that quietly dominate our lives. Sometimes simple and sometimes complex, these unsung heroes make our world go round, and have been doing so for thousands of years. If you take a moment to ponder a world without them, you may just begin to wonder about history as well. If so
  • Zinc Plating effects on Fasteners
    Electroplating is the process of adding a thin layer of metal to a workpiece of a different base metal. It is common for jewelry, as it is an inexpensive means to improve visual beauty by adding a layer of gold or other attractive metal. When it comes to mechanical fasteners such as bolts and nuts
  • The Importance Of Metal Fastener Plating
    Metal fasteners often come into contact with dissimilar metals - which is a recipe for corrosion and a whole host of other problems. Even the smallest component can ruin the overall effectiveness of a product or cause significant challenges, which in turn may determine a manufacturer's success
  • Auditing of Fasteners to Prevent Failures
    The critical question must be asked: If proper joint design and proper torque application still do not guarantee that effective tension has been achieved, how can we know if the installed fastener meets the specification intended by the designer?Fastening errors can never be eliminated if proper
