Industrial fasteners are hardware devices used to mechanically join or affix two or more objects together securely. They provide non-permanent joints that can be disassembled or adjusted during maintenance, unlike welding. 

Core Types of Fasteners

• Bolts: External-thread fasteners inserted through holes and tightened using a matching nut for heavy-duty load bearing.

• Screws: Threaded fasteners that cut their own mating path or thread directly into a component without a nut.

• Nuts: Mating internal-thread components paired with bolts to clamp materials together.

• Washers: Thin discs placed under a nut or bolt head to spread load pressure and protect material surfaces.

• Rivets: Permanent mechanical pins used when disassembly is not required.

• Anchors: Specialized components designed to secure items into concrete or masonry.
