  2. Spring steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_steel

    Spring steel is a name given to a wide range of steels [1] used in the manufacture of different products, including swords, saw blades, springs and many more. These steels are generally low-alloy manganese , medium-carbon steel or high-carbon steel with a very high yield strength .

  3. Rail fastening system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_fastening_system

    Rusted chair screw Chair screw (French: Tire-fonds) A chair screw (also known as coach screw [16]) is a large (~6 in or 152 mm length, slightly under 1 in or 25 mm diameter) metal screw used to fix a chair (for bullhead rail), baseplate (for flat bottom rail) or to directly fasten a rail. Chair screws are screwed into a hole bored in the ...

  4. Spring pin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_pin

    A spring pin (also called tension pin or roll pin) is a mechanical fastener that secures the position of two or more parts of a machine relative to each other. Spring pins have a body diameter which is larger than the diameter of the hole they are intended for, and a chamfer on either one or both ends to facilitate starting the pin into the hole.

  5. Hose clamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hose_clamp

    A simple spring clamp, used on an automotive vacuum hose. Another type of spring clamp, typically only used on vacuum hoses, is just a piece of spring steel wire bent into a loop, with the ends curled to provide handles. These are used similar to standard spring clamps, but are just pinched by hand, and provide very little clamping force.

  7. Bolted joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolted_joint

    Spring Analogy for a Bolted Joint. When a fastener is tightened, a tension preload is develops in the bolt, while an equal compressive preload forms in the clamped parts. This system can be modeled as a spring-like assembly, where the clamped parts experience compressive strain, and the bolt tensile strain. When an external tensile load is ...

    A lathe of 1871, equipped with leadscrew and change gears for single-point screw-cutting A Brown & Sharpe single-spindle screw machine. Fasteners had become widespread involving concepts such as dowels and pins, wedging, mortises and tenons, dovetails, nailing (with or without clenching the nail ends), forge welding, and many kinds of binding with cord made of leather or fiber, using many ...

  9. ISO metric screw thread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_metric_screw_thread

    A metric ISO screw thread is designated by the letter M followed by the value of the nominal diameter D (the maximum thread diameter) and the pitch P, both expressed in millimetres and separated by a dash or sometimes the multiplication sign, × (e.g. M8-1.25 or M8×1.25).
