Nuts are used in conjunction with a bolt to clamp two or more parts together. The most common type of nut is a Hexagonal Nut, but there are several different types of nuts for use in different applications.
Bolts and Setscrews usually feature a hexagonal head with a thread and can be used either in conjunction with a nut or in a threaded hole. Bolts generally have a shank beneath the head, while Setscrews are threaded all the way up to the head.
Washers are commonly used between the head of a bolt, screw, or nut and the material being clamped. Their primary function is to increase the bearing area of the head while also protecting the underlying material from damage. There are several types of washers, each designed for specific uses
Anchors are devices used to secure vessels to a water body’s bed, preventing drift due to wind or current. Typically made of metal, they grip the seabed, ensuring stability and safety for ships.
Screws are like bolts in that they have a head on one end and a thread on the other. The key difference is that screws are usually used to screw into an internally threaded hole. There are many different types of screws, such as Cap Screws, Machine Screws, and Woodscrews.
Miscellaneous bolts and nuts are versatile fasteners used in a wide range of applications. They come in various sizes, shapes, and materials, ensuring compatibility with different types of projects
