Fasteners

In the manufacturing industry, a T-bolt is a fastener with a T-shaped head, specifically designed for use in T-slots found on machine tables and tooling fixtures. It allows for adjustable and secure clamping of workpieces and tooling, crucial for precise machining and assembly operations.

Thread tools are designed to repair stripped, damaged, or worn-out threads. Our thread insert repair kits come complete with threaded bushings and installation tools. Kit types include helical, rivet nut, key-locking, and self-locking. We also carry a range of manual installation tools, power installation tools, tang break-off tools, thread setter tools, mandrels, and nosepieces.

Used for locating, positioning, indexing and securing. Our Index Plungers allow for rapid adjustments on a variety of platforms, fixtures and tables.Suitable for gym equipment, medical aids, catering equipment, conveyors etc.Comes with Threaded and No Thread Locking Element

Tool and key retractors are useful for securing small tools to prevent them from getting lost when not in use. By keeping essential tools close at hand, they also keep workspaces organized and efficient. We offer retractors with stainless steel chain or Kevlar cords that can be affixed to a surface using mounting brackets or a threaded stud mount.

These check nuts are made of 303 stainless steel or low carbon steel, soft, with a black oxide finish. They can be used in conjunction with many other components such as knurled head screws, torque thumb screws, hand knob assemblies, toggle show clamp assemblies and many other tooling applications.

Within manufacturing, U-bolts serve as critical fastening components, ensuring the secure and stable mounting of pipes, tubes, and structural elements within production lines and machinery. Essential for fluid systems and structural integrity, U-bolts provide reliable clamping. Available in various materials and shapes, they aid equipment setup and maintenance, ensuring consistent operation. From securing hydraulic lines in robotic assembly cells to mounting structural supports for conveyor systems, U-bolts are indispensable for maintaining operational efficiency and safety in manufacturing environments.

C-Washers can be used to distribute the load of a fastener and help prevent damage to the object being fastened.Dished washers are similar to spherical washers, but instead are designed for elongated holes. They are punched, gauged and tempered.Ideal for applications where there is an uneven surface. Offered as pairs or individual male and female pieces.Ball Head Position Adjusters allow exact positioning when assembling sloping bases up to approximately four degrees angle of inclination. A second ball head position adjuster is recommended as a base in sloped positions. They are one-piece constructed.Bonded WashersMetal flat washers are available in mild or stainless steel. They provide full insulation, cushioning and spacing.Designed for applications involving low loads and require high deflection. Available in plain, metal, or zinc plated finishes.Commonly used as a take up spring for a wide range of load bearing applications. Provide greater load bearing capacity than single wave washers with some loss in deflection capability.Snubbing Washers are used with bonded mounts to provide multi-directional vibration isolation, shock attenuation, and noise reduction. When used together, these fail safe mounts and washers are easy to install and provide consistent performance."

Wing and Fly Nuts have two large 'wings', one on each side to allow them to be easily tightened and loosened by hand without tools. Typically used where disassembly is frequently required or where interchangeable parts are used.

Winged thumb screws have wing-like projections for better grip and leverage when hand-tightening, often used for access panels and adjustable clamps. Spade head thumb screws have a flat, elongated head for tool-free turning, offering a lower profile and used in applications like electronic covers and light-duty clamping. Wings provide more torque, while paddle heads are more compact.

A yoke end, or clevis end, is a U-shaped metal fastener designed for securing rods or cables, particularly in lifting and rigging operations. It features a U-shaped opening for the rod/cable and a threaded section for connection to other fasteners. Constructed from materials like steel, often galvanized for corrosion resistance, it's secured with a clevis pin assembly. 3 This robust design, also referred to as an end yoke, yoke clevis, or clevis yoke end, is crucial for safely attaching and lifting heavy loads in industrial settings.
