Threaded fasteners are, literally, the nuts and bolts of putting reliability on the plant floor. They hold things together and hold them down. When they`re managed correctly, looseness-related vibration, which leads to mechanical wear, leaks, and poor electrical connections, is kept to a minimum. When approached casually and with a lack of precision, threaded fasteners are a primary root cause of mechanical and electrical failure.
Effective fastening is achieved by applying the proper amount of clamping force between two fastened components. Clamping force is achieved by stretching the threaded fastener, which acts like a spring to create the tension required to secure the connection. The amount of tension applied is very important. The threads on bolts are elastic, which enables them to stretch-the greater the stretch, the greater the tension, up to a point.
