Fasteners are hardware devices used to mechanically join (or affix) two or more objects together, usually creating non-permanent joints. Industrial projects often use fasteners to ensure that structures and equipment function as intended– safely and efficiently. Types of Fasteners What are some kinds of fasteners? For industrial machines, you’d likely use bolts, screws, nuts and/or… Read more »
Acme lead screws for fasteners work well because they’re especially designed to translate rotary motion into linear motion. As the shaft rotates as the motor turns, the threads push the shaft nut forward or backward depending on the direction of the rotating motion. This transfers the circular motion of the motor into linear motion on… Read more »
