FASTNERS
Fasteners are hardware devices used to join or secure two or more objects together. They are essential components in construction, manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and various other industries. Fasteners play a critical role in creating robust and reliable connections, ensuring the integrity and safety of structures and machinery.
Fasteners can be made from various materials, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and plastic. The material selection depends on factors such as the application, environmental conditions, load requirements, and corrosion resistance.
Fasteners are available in a wide range of sizes, designs, and configurations to suit different applications and industries. They are critical components that ensure the stability, safety, and longevity of various structures and products.
Types of Fasteners:
Screws: Screws are threaded fasteners with a head that can be driven into a material using a screwdriver or a similar tool. They create a secure connection by tapping into the material they are driven into.
Bolts: Bolts are externally threaded fasteners that require a nut to secure two objects together. They are commonly used in applications where a detachable connection is needed.
Nuts: Nuts are internally threaded fasteners that are paired with bolts to create a secure joint. They come in various shapes and sizes, such as hex nuts, wing nuts, and lock nuts.
Anchors: Anchors are fasteners used to attach objects to concrete, masonry, or other materials. They provide a strong and reliable attachment point.
Washers: Washers are thin, flat discs placed between a fastener and the surface to distribute the load and prevent damage to the material.
Rivets: Rivets are permanent fasteners used to join two materials together by deforming the end of the rivet after insertion. They are commonly used in sheet metal and aerospace applications.
Pins: Pins are cylindrical fasteners used to secure objects in place or act as pivot points. They come in various types, such as straight pins, cotter pins, and dowel pins.
