Fastener Power Pages

Eyelets

Eyelets

An eyelet is a small, circular component typically made of metal, rubber, or plastic, specifically designed to reinforce or fortify holes created in thin materials. These devices function similarly to grommets, albeit at a smaller scale…

Fasteners

Fasteners

A fastener is a non-permanent or permanent mechanical tool that rigidly connects or affixes two surfaces or objects together. Non-permanent fasteners can easily be removed without damaging the joined materials…

Rivets

Different Types of Rivets

A rivet is a permanent mechanical fastener that is used to join materials. Their wide use is due to their ability to withstand vibrations and tension without loosening, factors that make them a far better fastener than screws or bolts. Rivets consist of a head at one end…

Self-Drilling Screws

Self-Drilling Screws

A self-drilling screw is a type of tool that has the same design features as a drill bit or cutting tool. As the name implies, self-drilling screws do not require a pilot hole in order to perform as a fastener…

Types Of Bolts

Types Of Bolts

Bolts are mechanical devices used in assembling and fastening objects, typically used with a matching nut. They are designed to be installed in aligned unthreaded holes of multiple parts…

Cold Heading & Cold Forming

Cold Heading & Cold Forming

Cold forming can be defined as the process of continuously forming a specific shape or design from a metal wire without adding heat. This is aided by hammers, dies, and punches at a very high speed…

Powder Metallurgy

Powder Metallurgy

Powder metallurgy is a manufacturing process that produces precision and highly accurate parts by pressing powdered metals and alloys into a rigid die under extreme pressure. With the development and implementation of technological advances…

Ball Screws

Ball Screws

Ball screws are mechanical linear actuators that consist of a screw shaft and a nut that contain a ball that rolls between their matching helical grooves. The primary function of ball screws is to convert rotational motion to linear motion. Ball nuts are used in…

Lead Screw

Lead Screws

A lead screw is a mechanical linear actuator that converts rotational movement into a linear motion. It functions through the sliding interaction between the screw shaft and the nut threads without employing ball bearings. This direct…
