SPECIALTY SCREWS AND BOLTS
THREAD FORMING FOR METALS AND PLASTICS
- Requires lower driving torque
- Reduces cracking of boss
- Allows use of smaller bosses
- Increases thread engagement
- Increases resistance to pull-out
TAPPING SCREWS
- Undercut washer head
- Shank threaded into undercut area to allow full engagement even in thin sheet metals
- Smooth or serrated bearing surface
- Available in a variety of thread and point styles
- Sizes from M3 to M8 (#4 to 5/16″)
- Virtually eliminates strip-out
- Resists vibration loosening
- Allows use of thinner sheet metals
- High torque capability
- Excellent for grounding-screw applications
SOCKET SCREWS
- Meet ANSI and ASTM standards
- Heat-treated alloy steel
- Inch and metric sizes available
- Hex or TORX PLUS® Drive System
BALL STUDS
- Fast and easy to install
- Ideal for frequent detaching
- Provides a sturdy connection
- Made of strong spring steel
PINS
- Used for multiple purposes including as a locator or for aligning and joining components.
- Made of heat-treated alloy steel
- Meet ANSI and ASTM standards
- DFAR compliant
- Inch and metric sizes available
PLUGS
- Blind hole, one-sided installation capability.
- Fully annealed sleeve yields high sealing performance.
- Improved seal and wider hole tolerance.
- Larger hole tolerance. Simplified hole alignment when automated placing is required.
- Internal lock. Flat nose tip and ease of use.
- Improved stem retention and increased vibration resistance.
- No locking ring formed by nose tip. Standard equipment reduces preventative maintenance.
- Tapered sleeve and stem allows ease of entry with standard tooling.
- Suited to automated systems, seal quality is not operator dependent
- Available as a customized design to meet your unique assembly requirements.
- Popular assembly applications include thin wall applications, restricted space, shorter hole length, high-pressure applications, holes with large tolerance, and automotive low-pressure applications.
CRITICAL FASTENERS
Our manufacturing partners specialize in the design and manufacture of cold- and hot-headed, high-strength fasteners capable of meeting the demanding performance requirements of aerospace, diesel engine, power generation, and industrial markets. Featuring their Automatic SMP (ASMP), EBC Industries, Ferry Cap, TOG Manufacturing, and Specialty Bar Products, contact us to see examples of our critical machined parts.
SCREW AND WASHER ASSEMBLIES (SEMS)
- One-piece screw and washer assembly.
- Provides a larger bearing surface area than a one-piece cold formed part.
- Provides a screw and washer assembly with dissimilar material.
- Provides a more consistent torque/tension relationship.
- Distributes the load over a large bearing surface, reducing potential joint yielding.
