Some of the common types of fasteners:
Screws are threaded fasteners with a helical ridge (thread) wrapped around a cylindrical shaft. They are commonly used to secure two or more objects together by creating a threaded connection. Screws come in various types, such as wood screws, machine screws, self-tapping screws, and sheet metal screws, each designed for specific applications.
Bolts are similar to screws, but they typically have a larger size and are used with a mating nut to create a strong and secure fastening. Bolts have a threaded shaft and a head (hex, square, or round) that allows for the application of torque to tighten or loosen the fastener. They are commonly used in structural applications, machinery, and equipment assembly.
Nuts are internally threaded fasteners used in conjunction with bolts or threaded rods. They are designed to be tightened onto the bolt, providing a secure connection by applying compressive force. Nuts come in various types, including hex nuts, lock nuts, wing nuts, and more, each offering specific features for different applications.
Washers are flat, thin discs with a hole in the center. They are placed between the fastener and the surface being fastened to distribute the load, prevent damage, and improve the fastener’s performance. Washers come in different forms, such as flat washers, spring washers, and lock washers.
Rivets are permanent fasteners used to join two or more materials together by deforming the end of the rivet to create a secure connection. They consist of a cylindrical shaft and a head, and they are commonly used in industries such as construction, aerospace, and automotive.
Anchors are fasteners used to secure objects to materials such as concrete, masonry, or drywall. They provide stability and load-bearing capacity in applications where a secure attachment is required.
Clips and clamps are fasteners used to secure or hold objects together. They are commonly used in automotive applications, cable management, and assembly of components.
