Fasteners are used to mechanically join two or more objects together, either permanently or non-permanently. There are many different types of fastener, each with their own purpose.Fasteners can broadly be categorised as either Permanent or Non-Permanent. Permanent Fasteners, such as rivets and nails, are single-use fasteners that are designed to permanently join two materials or parts. Removing the fastener destroys it.
Types of Threaded Fastener
Bolts and Setscrews
Bolts generally have a shank beneath the head, while Setscrews are threaded all the way up to the head.
Socket Screws
These screws feature a smooth shank and an Allen head, and are fastened using an Allen key. Socket screws come with different head shapes, such as Button, Socket Cap and Countersunk.
Anchor Fasteners
Anchor bolts are designed to attach structural elements to concrete. In our industry, anchor bolts are typically used to attach steel to concrete.
Threaded rods
Threaded rods have many applications, effectively working as a pin to fasten or connect two materials together.
Eye Bolts
These bolts have a circular ring instead of a traditional head and are used to fix rope or chain to a surface.
Hex Nuts
A plain, hexagonal nut with an internal thread. These are by far the most common type of nut, and are used in numerous industries and applications.
Flat Washers
These are the most common type of washer and are used to evenly distribute the load of the bolt, screw or nut as the fastener is tightened.
Countersunk Bolt
Screws with a countersunk head are typically used in woodworking applications.
