Security fasteners, also known as tamper-resistant or tamper-proof screws and bolts, are designed to prevent unauthorized removal or tampering. These fasteners feature unique drive styles and heads that require specialized tools for installation and removal, providing added security for various applications. Here is an overview of security fasteners, including their types, features, applications, and installation considerations:
Rivet bushes, also known as threaded inserts or rivet nuts, are fasteners used to create strong and reusable threads in thin materials. They are typically made of metal and are designed to be installed into a pre-drilled hole, providing a threaded insert for screws or bolts. Here’s an overview of rivet bushes, including their types, applications, and installation methods:
Machine screws are precision fasteners designed for use in machinery and electronic devices. They are typically threaded along their entire length and are used to secure components together, often into a tapped hole or with a corresponding nut. Machine screws are available in various sizes, materials, and head styles to suit different applications and assembly requirements.
Inserts for plastic are specially designed components used to create strong, durable threads in plastic parts. They provide a robust means of attaching components to plastic assemblies, ensuring reliable and long-lasting connections. Inserts are commonly used in applications where the plastic material alone would not provide sufficient thread strength.
Circlips, also known as retaining rings or snap rings, are a type of fastener used to secure components on a shaft or in a housing/bore when installed in a groove. They prevent lateral movement and are crucial in various mechanical assemblies. Circlips are commonly made from spring steel or other metal alloys, providing flexibility and strength.
Blind rivet nuts, also known as rivnuts or threaded inserts, are fasteners that provide a strong, reliable method for attaching components to materials where only one side is accessible, hence the term “blind.” They are used to create threaded connections in thin materials like sheet metal, plastic, and composites.
