Hydraulic Grease Fittings are used to feed lubricants into hydraulic component bearings using a grease gun. These grease fittings are available in a range of styles and head types for standard, NPT, metric threaded, or press fit applications.

Set screws, headless and threaded, secure components in industrial manufacturing. They lock gears, position parts, and retain tooling. With varied points and materials, they ensure stability and prevent malfunctions.

In manufacturing, particularly within industrial cabling, jack screws are critical for ensuring reliable and uninterrupted operation. These robust fasteners secure connectors, preventing disconnections caused by vibration and tension common in harsh industrial environments. By providing a strong mechanical connection, they maintain consistent electrical contact, minimizing signal degradation and power loss, and indirectly offering added cable strain relief. This contributes to the overall reliability of industrial equipment, safeguarding data and power transmission.

A keyset cutter (or keyseat/keyway cutter) is a specialized end mill designed to cut precise, semi-circular grooves called keyways into shafts or bores. These keyways are used to fit keys for secure torque transmission between rotating parts. They are typically center-cutting with a specific width for a single-pass cut. Common types include Woodruff cutters (for semi-circular keys), straight tooth, and staggered tooth cutters, available in carbide or HSS with various coatings. They are essential for manufacturing and repairing machinery with keyed shafts and hubs.

Knurling comes in a variety of patterns depending on the application of the knobs you need to help clamp or adjust tools across a variety of workspaces.

Knurled knobs in vertical or diamond patterns increase grip ability, which makes it ideal for scenarios where grip may not be guaranteed due to contact with water or lubricants.

There are many types of knobs that use knurling. Explore all your options for materials and types of knobs by downloading our Guide to Knobs and Handles e-book.

You can learn more about the types of knurling available across knobs and handles by reading our article on common knurling types.

A knurled screw is a screw with a textured surface (knurling), usually on the head, designed for easy hand-turning without tools. The knurling provides enhanced grip, making it useful for frequent adjustments and in situations where tools are inconvenient. They come in various head styles (like thumb screws) and are used across many industries for tool-free fastening and adjustments.

Concave push-pull knobs feature tapered shanks and an enlarged head to provide good finger clearance and an excellent grasp for pulling or lifting across a variety of specific shapes.

The concave top is more comfortable in applications that use a thumb push operation. The convex top has a smooth shape and fits comfortably into the operator’s palm for an easy grip.

We carry a large supply of push-pull knobs by manufacturers like Kipp for use in all types of industrial and manufacturing applications in both inch and metric dimensions.

Locating pins are used for controlled, tight tolerances to increase accuracy in positioning workpieces on fixtures. Typically, two pins are needed to properly align the workpiece. We offer round pins that provide precise location in all directions, as well as relieved or diamond pins that provide clearance with less contact to prevent binding during loading and unloading. These can be used in many different applications including clamping tables, fixture plates, v-blocks and other common shop tools.

The most common types of fixture locating pins are: threaded locating pins, diamond locating pins, with bullet nose and pin liners.

Adjustable locating screws are used with locating pins to accurately position workpieces in jigs and fixtures.

Our hex-hole, square-hole, and square-slotted machine tool sleeves can be used to connect rods for making boring bars, milling cutters, and tool holders.

Pneumatics Mounts are well suited for applications that require higher deflection isolators and are easily leveled by adding or releasing air. This mount deflects shock loads and transfers the forces to the heavy duty outer wall, reducing vibration by up to 90%.

Pull handles are commonly used to open and close a variety of doors and drawers, including those on furniture, machines, and equipment. Options include one-piece handles or multiple-piece assemblies.

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.

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.

Rest buttons support and position workpieces from the bottom or side. Our selection includes circular, press fit, and threaded rest buttons.

Folding pull handles are hinged U-shaped handles that lay flat when not in use, creating a convenient low profile while maintaining functionality. Available in free-fall, two-position, and three-position options.

Ring Mounts protect sensitive equipment from disturbing frequencies as low as 600 and up to 1,800 RPM. These low frequency mounts are made of natural rubber with zinc plated fasteners. They will guard against unwanted transmissions of shock and vibrations. Applications include: medical apparatus, measuring devices, valves, small pumps, small motors, compressors, instrument panels business machines, cameras and fans.

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.

Roughing end mills, or hog mills, are designed for quickly removing large amounts of material in the initial stages of machining. They feature aggressive tooth geometry (coarse pitch, deep gullets, fewer flutes, often wavy edges) and a strong core for high material removal rates. While efficient for rough shaping, they produce a poor surface finish and lower accuracy, requiring subsequent finishing with other end mills.

Single End Male Sandwich Mounts absorb transmissions between two panels, equipment, or machinery that can cause harmful vibrations, noise, and shock. The rubber material is durable and the stud is bonded for added strength.Comical shape, Double End Male/Male Sandwich Mounts absorb transmissions between two panels, equipment, or machinery that can cause harmful vibrations, noise, and shock. The rubber material is durable and the studs are bonded for strength. Sandwich mounts absorb transmissions between two metal panels or machinery, while bonded mounts provide multi-directional vibration isolation.

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.

Shank latches have a T-shaped or L-shaped handle that turns the pawl to hook or unhook it from the frame panel.
