A special thread form keeps bolts and nuts tight under vibration by attacking the problem from a different angle. Two conventional methods for securing threaded fasteners against preload loss include ...

The GI-100DT uses a series of front and backlit cameras to calculate a part’s height, profile, and inner and outer diameters. Fasteners are critical components in engineered systems and structures, ...

Part 1: A-ating Look at the Bolts and Studs That Hold Your Engine Together—We'd Really Be Screwed Without Them! Bolts, nuts, and washers: They're what keeps your engine, drivetrain, chassis—heck, the ...

One of the most critical factors in determining the reliability of a threaded-fastener joint is the force the tightened fastener exerts on an assembly, which is known as preload. And preload depends ...

Translating rotary motion to linear motion is a basic part of mechatronic design. Take a look at the nearest 3D-printer or CNC router — at least the Cartesian variety — and you’ll see some mechanism ...

They hold together everything from the most delicate watch to the largest bridge. The world is literally kept from coming apart by screws and bolts, and yet we don’t often give a thought to these ...
