Eyelets

An eyelet is a small, circular component typically made of metal, rubber, or plastic, specifically designed to reinforce or fortify holes created in thin materials. These devices function similarly to grommets, albeit at a smaller scale…
Fasteners

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…
Rivets

A rivet is a permanent mechanical fastener that is used to join materials. Their wide use is due to their ability to withstand vibrations and tension without loosening, factors that make them a far better fastener than screws or bolts. Rivets consist of a head at one end…
Self-Drilling Screws

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…
Types Of Bolts

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…
Cold Heading & Cold Forming

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…
Powder Metallurgy

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…
Ball Screws

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…
Lead Screw

A lead screw is a mechanical linear actuator that converts rotational movement into a linear motion. It functions through the sliding interaction between the screw shaft and the nut threads without employing ball bearings. This direct…
