Direct Tension Indicating Fasteners - SmartBolts® is the only tension indicating fastener system featuring an eye-catching visual indication of a potentially dangerous condition, obvious even from a distance and in moving machinery. No wires, instruments, complex procedures or electronic black boxes. The only instrument needed is the eye. The indication is based on fastener elongation under load.
Bolts are mechanical devices used in assembling and fastening objects, typically used with a matching nut. They are designed to be installed in aligned unthreaded holes of multiple parts...
A fastener is a non-permanent or permanent mechanical tool that rigidly connects or affixes two surfaces or objects together. Non-permanent fasteners can easily be removed without damaging the joined materials...
A self-drilling screw is a type of tool that has the same design features as a drill bit or cutting tool. As the name implies, self-drilling screws do not require a pilot hole in order to perform as a fastener...
Ball screws are mechanical linear actuators that consist of a screw shaft and a nut that contain a ball that rolls between their matching helical grooves. The primary function of ball screws is to convert rotational motion to linear motion. Ball nuts are used in...
Powder metallurgy is a manufacturing process that produces precision and highly accurate parts by pressing powdered metals and alloys into a rigid die under extreme pressure. With the development and implementation of technological advances...
Cold forming can be defined as the process of continuously forming a specific shape or design from a metal wire without adding heat. This is aided by hammers, dies, and punches at a very high speed...
