    Bolts Nuts Washers

    Bolt
    Bolts are typically used to fasten two or more objects together through pre-drilled holes

    Types of fasteners
    Hex bolts, or hex cap screws Used in machinery and construction. Can be used with a nut, or in a tapped hole. Fully threaded hex bolts are also known as tap bolts.

    Wood screws Have large threads and a smooth shank for pulling two pieces of material together. They can be used in wood and other soft materials.

    Sheet metal screws Have sharp points and threads, and are designed to be driven directly into sheet metal. They can also be used in softer materials like plastic, fiberglass, or wood

    Machine screws These are fully treaded for use with a nut or in a tapped hole. Certain types are sometimes referred to as stove bolts

    Socket screws Are machine screws with an internal hex socket (Allen) drive. Longer lengths may have a smooth shank.

    Lag bolts, or lag screws Are large wood screws with hex heads. Typically used for wood construction and landscaping

    Carriage bolts Have smooth, domed heads with a square section underneath that pulls into the material to prevent spinning during installation

    Tensile Strength: The maximum load in tension (pulling apart) which a material can withstand before breaking or fracturing. Yield Strength: The maximum load at which a material exhibits a specific permanent deformation Proof Load: An axial tensile load which the product must withstand without evidence of any permanent set. 1MPa = 1N/mm2 = 145 pounds/inch2

    Nut
    A nut is a type of fastener with a threaded hole. Nuts are almost always used opposite a mating bolt to fasten a stack of parts together

    The two partners are kept together by a combination of their threads' friction, a slight stretch of the bolt In applications where vibration or rotation may work a nut loose, various locking mechanisms may be employed: Adhesives, safety pins or lockwire nylon inserts, or slightly oval-shaped threads

    Nut

    Types of nut
    Hex A six sided nut. Also referred to as a finished hex nut. Nylon Insert Lock A nut with a nylon insert to prevent backing off. Also referred to as a Nylock Jam A hex nut with a reduced height. Nylon Insert Jam Lock A Nylock nut with a reduced height.

    Types of nut

    Wing A nut with 'wings' for hand tightening.

    Cap A nut with a domed top over the end of the fastener.

    Acorn Acorn nuts are a high crown type of cap nut, used for appearance.

    Flange A nut with a built in washer like flange.

    Types of nut
    Coupling Coupling nuts are long nuts used to connect pieces of threaded rod or other male threaded fasteners. Slotted Slotted nuts are used in conjunction with a cotter pin on drilled shank fasteners to prevent loosening. Castle Castle nuts are similar to slotted nuts but with the slots in a rounded section above the main nut.
