What is Fasteners ?
All fasteners perform the same function—mechanically joining and securing two or more parts together. However, differences in type, quality, shape, and material significantly influence the fastener’s performance and service life. Understanding the functional varieties of the different types available, including nuts, bolts, and washers, is essential to selecting the appropriate fastener (and fastener supplier) for your project.
At Shubham Machinery, we pride ourselves on offering a full range of fasteners that provide durability and high performance at competitive prices. The following guide outlines a small selection of the types of fasteners available in our total inventory to help you choose the optimal product for your fastening application.
Types Of Fasteners We Deal In
Shubham machinery provides a variety of fasteners, including bolts, nuts, and washers in
M.S., S.S & High Tensile.
BOLTS
Bolts are one of the most versatile structural fasteners, available in a vast array of configurations to suit different materials and strength requirements. These fasteners differ primarily in thread specification, length, and head shape, with varying combinations of these characteristics resulting in bolts with different functions. They typically require a drilled hole and a complementary nut, or tapped mating part for installation, and, unlike screws, they are generally not tapered.
fasteners
Nuts are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, materials, and thread patterns. While your selection of a nut is somewhat constrained by your choice of the bolt—particularly in terms of size and threading—you still should select the nut head shape and material that is most suitable for your application.
NUTS
WASHERS
Washers are disk-shaped components that provide enhanced control overlocking and friction when used with other fasteners. These fasteners may also feature teeth, indentations, and other unique structural mechanisms for use in more specialized applications. In general, they serve a variety of functions, including preventing loosening of the fastener assembly, protecting the surface under a fastener, and distributing the pressure more evenly during installation and use.
Compared to nuts and bolts, washers have much fewer variants available. However, among the washer types, there remain important distinctions. Like nuts, washers should be complementary to your selected bolt and chosen to suit your unique fastening application.
Retaining rings also referred to as snap rings, are typically installed in a groove on the shaft or bore. The retaining ring acts as a shoulder that holds components in place. The retaining ring is held in place by interference on either the I.D. or O.D.
