New High Resolution Bolt is a Smart Fit For Critical Industrial Applications (13285)
Critical bolted joints often require exacting tightening procedures to establish the optimum clamp load. While tightening by torque wrenching methods is quick and easy, extensive tests have shown that a given torque can produce tensions or clamp forces varying by as much as 5 to 1 depending on bolt plating, lubrication, thread condition, nut and washer material and seventy-one other variables according to a US Air Force study.

Getting Reliability Right with Self Locking Threaded Fasteners (13290)
Now that manufacturers' products have advanced to the point where most consumers and contractors can no longer repair and maintain their own products due to sealed components and electronic complexity, reliability must be incorporated into the design. Toward this back to nuts and bolts effort, innovative self locking threaded fasteners such as Spiralock®, the first re-engineered thread form since WWII can help engineers limit warranty claims and potential liability while boosting profitability and customer satisfaction.

Self Locking Threaded Fasteners: Celebrating Spiralocks 80 Years of Helping Engineers (13280)
Eighty years ago, engineers had no idea they'd be turning to self locking threaded fasteners for the ever lighter, stronger, higher speed, higher RPM, and higher temperature designs of today. But as Spiralock Corporation of Madison Heights, Michigan (www.spiralock.com) celebrates its 80th anniversary this year, having started in 1927 as a threading tooling company, which later developed the Spiralock thread form, its self locking threaded fasteners are increasingly a solution on some of today's most critical engineering applications.
