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 washers to hold components together. Fasteners can handle/withstand vibrations, heavy loads and environmental factors such as rain and wind. Therefore, fasteners help ensure structural integrity of industrial projects.
Without fasteners, things would fall apart and hurt workers, the public and/or other equipment. Therefore, fasteners help ensure safety for industrial projects– making sure two components are joined together such that they’re stable rather than shifting or moving when they should not be. Fasteners help prevent hazardous situations.
If and when equipment or machinery needs to be maintained or repaired, fasteners simplify such work. Removing them temporarily allows for work to be done quickly and easily.
Should you have a project that’s unique, consider having a company make customized fasteners to meet your specific needs. All fasteners need to comply with industry standards so you can expect them to be reliable.
