Frequently Asked Questions
What are engineering fasteners?
Engineering Fasteners are precision bolts screws nuts and rivets built to defined grades and metric threads for mechanical assemblies. Unlike woodscrews they mate with tapped holes nuts or set inserts giving repeatable clamping force in machinery frames and fabricated structures.
What does grade 8.8 mean on set screws?
Grade 8.8 marks high tensile carbon steel with roughly twice the strength of ordinary mild steel fasteners. Choose 8.8 set screws for machinery brackets and structural connections then move to A2 stainless when corrosion resistance matters more than ultimate strength.
What is the difference between set screws and bolts?
Set screws are threaded along their full length so they clamp through the entire grip while bolts have a plain shank section. Full threading makes set screws the versatile choice for tapped holes and nut fixed assemblies at any thickness.
When should I use rivets instead of screws?
Use rivets for permanent sheet to sheet fixing where welding or bolting is impractical. Our dome head rivets in aluminium A2 stainless and copper form a secure mechanical joint from one side of the work which suits ducting cladding and enclosure assembly.
