Fasteners

Pin Lanyards have a wide variety of uses for attaching pins and small parts. They come in a wide range of lengths, and have a choice of end attachements.

Pin Receptacles are designed for us on materials and in appications where the pins does not have anything to lock against. They provide a permanent and proper mating hole for all our quick release pins.

Pin rings are made from hard drawn wire steel and are zinc-plated. Stainless ones are type 316. Available in different diameters.

Comprised of plunger sleeves, detents, mounting blocks, flanges, washers, installation tools and lock nuts. Compatible with a wide variety of spring loaded devices and tooling components. Ideal for fixtures.

Spring plungers are used for accurate positioning of components and come in a variety of sizes. These components use spring-force to apply pressure so the ball or nose will remain positioned.

Pull pin spring plungers allow you to quickly retract and engage the plunger for locating, fastening and quick change operations. They consist of the housing barrel and plunger assembly. The plunger assembly screws into the housing. The housing is designed to be welded into place for strength. Featuring ball knob, lobed knob, T-handle and threaded end types.

These fasteners satisfy a broad range of requirements for quick acess, high strength and economical performance. Featuring rivet, weld side mount, snap in and clip on types.

Quarter-turn screws lock or unlock with a 90-degree turn, offering fast and easy access, often used for panels in aerospace and automotive. Half-turn screws require a 180-degree turn for engagement, providing a balance of speed and a more substantial feel, also used for quick-access panels and latching mechanisms. The main difference is the rotation needed for operation.

Available in winged head and oval slotted models. While selecting the right stud, both the inner and outter panel material thicknesses must be considered.

Quick Release Pins are used in applications where a positive stop is desired. The shoulder prevents the pin from being inserted all the way to the handle. Pins will not release until the button is pushed, causing the balls at the end of the pin to retract for insertion and removal of the pin.

Retainer Rings are installed into pre-manufactured grooves on axles to act as a shoulder and retain a specified component or assembly. These retainers are designed with a lip for easy assembly and dismantling.C-Clip Retainer Rings can be used on axles with or without pre-manufactured grooves as an ideal solution to shoulder and retain a specified component or assembly. These C-Clips have a durable and bright zinc finish.E-Clip Retainer Rings slide into a groove on a shaft to shoulder, align, and retain a specific component or assembly. E-Clips are available in a wide range of sizes and variety of materials to best suit your application.

Rod ends are crucial in manufacturing for articulated connections in control systems. Their design, with an eye-shaped head and spherical bearing, enables precise rotation and secure connections. They are vital in automated systems and machinery for controlled movement and alignment, boosting production efficiency.

Pneumatic parallel grippers operate with compressed air and are designed for automated pick-and-place applications. Available in 20 sizes with stroke options from 5mm to 50mm and fast actuations from 60ms. These grippers offer easy installation, low maintenance, and finger compatibility with competing units for quick upgrades and cost savings.

In manufacturing, threaded set-up studs are headless, threaded rods used for precise component alignment and secure clamping in fixtures, tooling, and machine assembly. Available in fully, single, or double-ended thread configurations, they provide robust connections where traditional bolts are unsuitable.

A shoulder screw, or shoulder bolt, is a specialized fastener characterized by its three distinct sections: a head, a precisely machined unthreaded cylindrical shoulder, and a threaded end. This unique design enables its use in applications requiring precise rotation, alignment, or spacing. The smooth, tightly toleranced shoulder acts as a bearing surface, reducing friction and wear, making it ideal for pivot points, guiding motion, and supporting machinery. Common applications include die stripper plates in metalworking, as well as the assembly of pulleys and gears. In essence, shoulder screws provide accurate alignment and smooth rotation, serving as both pivot points and bearing surfaces in various mechanical assemblies.

Screws are threaded fasteners used to join two or more objects or hold an object in position. We offer a diverse line of screws with imperial or metric threads. Our assortment of cap screws includes standard head, button head, flat head, flange head, and more. We also stock a large selection of captive screws, set screws, shoulder screws, thumb screws, and wing screws.

Unthreaded Spacers act as a buffer to absorb vibrations and reduce noise. These spacers are ideal for use in electronic appliances and applications where movement in stationary machinery is unavoidable.

Spring Anchors are a quick, efficient, and economical way to secure the ends of extension springs. These anchors allow you to adjust and fine tune extension spring loads easily while saving time.

Spring pins are hollow and slotted so they can be driven and compressed into a slightly smaller hole.

Spring stops, also referred to as spring stop buttons, are light fixturing components used to hold a work piece against a locating surface prior to clamping. They consist of a flanged mounting body and a spring-loaded plunger. Also known as spring loaded stops, these tooling components work well with Spring Plungers and Jig and Fixtures.

Choose between Rectangular, Slot Holes, and Triangular base styles for the best spring stops

Reid has a large selection of industrial nuts for all of your fastening needs. Reid offers everything from tooling, allen, button thread, Jam, standard hex, thumb and flange nuts to industrial T-slot and machine screw nuts. Reid offers both imperial and metric nuts in a wide variety of materials including brass, stainless steel and nylon to name a few.

Swing latch bolts are versatile fasteners used in industrial applications for both lifting and linkage purposes. They are primarily employed for:Jigs and fixtures: Facilitating quick and secure connections. Linkages: Connecting components, such as a swing bolt to a cylinder yoke. Permanent mounting: Securing items to industrial machinery or equipment for lifting. Rigging and suspension: Acting as anchor points for rigging hardware in various tasks.
