Reid Supply welcomes your feedback and comments on any aspect of these Resource Guides. Pleasecontact Customer Service at the number listed below or email us at [email protected].
It should be noted that this Resource Guide is for reference only . The information provided isintended to assist in the selection of products sold by Reid Supply and its vendors. As Reid Supply andits vendors are not typically aware of or possess any expertise in the systems or processes for whichproducts are being applied, we cannot accept any responsibility or liability for the outcome thereof.
Furthermore, with new and old technologies continually expanding and changing, it is impossibleto address all systems, processes and applications for which Reid Supply products are purchased.Reid Supply also has little control over materials and processes from which our products are produced.
In addition, due to the nature of some materials; colors, textures, shapes and sizes may lackconsistency.
Reid Supply reserves the right to modify, update and otherwise maintain this document and its content.
Terms used to define products are typically determined by the vendor. However, fasteners and relatedhardware have been around for many years and many reference and how-to manuals have been writtenInformation is also available online. To avoid confusion, a glossary of terms used in this document hasbeen included at the end of the manual.
As Reid Supply purchases its products from several vendors, it is sometimes difficult to sort andcategorize these differences. If you find yourself confused by terminology in the catalog or thisdocument, try shopping online using the web site listed below.
If a product consists of assembled parts, there is a very good chance Fasteners and Hardware are used
to hold the parts together. The purpose of this manual is to aid customers in the proper selection of theFasteners and Hardware of Reid Supply product offerings. The information included extends beyond thecatalog to provide details, tables, charts and other information to further assist the customer in selectingthe best Fasteners and Hardware for an application.
Much of the information presented and more, including this guide, can be found online. More detailedinformation can be found in the references manuals listed in Table 18 at the end of the guide.
NOTE: References used are listed at the end of this manual and referred to by number, e.g. [1,2], in thetext. References to text books and other documentation sold by Reid Supply are also referredto by number, e.g. {5} and listed in Table 18 at the end of this manual.

Although considerations for every and all applications is beyond the scope of this manual, some basicdesign considerations can be presented. The type of Fasteners and Hardware used in an applicationare based on what needs to be fastened to what and how. Hardware considerations are based on howthings come together, even if they are not fastened. The remainder of this section discusses some basicconsiderations which should be understood when applying fasteners and related hardware.
The most common fasteners are bolts and screws. Other fastener types are listed in Table 13 laterin this Resource Guide. There are two groups of fasteners shown Figure 1, inch and metric. Inchis primarily used in the U.S. while metric fasteners are used in Europe, Asia and the rest of theworld. Because of globalization in world markets, the U.S. is slowly converting to the metric system.Reid Supply offers an increasing selection of metric fasteners.
Figure 1 shows sample markings for inch and metric systems. A more detailed list of markings andspecifications can be found in Table 4.
Figure 1: Sample Bolt Head Markings
Inch Metric
U.S. bolts and screws are generally identified by diameter and threads per inch as shown below.
D x N x L
Where: D = Nominal diameter of fastener
N = Thread per inch
L = Length, this is a secondary value that is not always specified. The referencefor measuring a bolt or screw length is the surface plane for which the bolt orscrew is inserted. For bolts, it is measured from the underside of the headand for screws, it depends on the screw type as shown in Table 7 later in thisResource Guide.
Table 1 includes a list of U.S. standard bolt and screw sizes along with recommended drill sizes for tapor pass through holes.

The identification for ISO threads are similar to U.S. sizes and specifies diameter. The threads areidentified by pitch as shown below.
M# x P - T P gT
C g
Where: M = Symbol for SI fastener
# = Diameter in millimeters
P = Thread pitch in millimeters, P = 1/ n (n = # threads per inch) for U.S. sizes
T P g = Tolerance grade of thread pitch diameter (Typically not used)
T C g = Tolerance grade of thread crest diameter (Typically not used)

Any time two or more parts are assembled with a fastener, the strength of the fastener must beunderstood to maintain the integrity of the joint. Depending on the type of joint, the ability for thefastener to oppose external forces depends on the fastener material and size.
Figure 2: Shear vs. Tension Forces in Bolted Joint
Figure 2 illustrates two forces that exists in a typical compression joint of two parts using a bolt and nutor other similar fastener. The fastener may have to resist joint separation in one or both directions asindicated. An eye bolt mounting a pulley opposes axial forces of tension. While the fastener holdingthe pulley together resists stress in the mostly lateral direction as the rope or cable passes through it.Bolting the base of a robotic arm may have to resist external forces in both directions.
NOTE: More information on clamping forces used to hold two or more parts together can be found inthe Clamps and Working or Tooling Components Resource Guides.
NOTE: Equations Eq. 1, thru Eq. 3 are for estimating torque. For critical applications, refer to moredetailed and accurate calculations included in references listed in Table 18: {3} Machinery’sHandbook under Torque and Tension in Fasteners, {6} Mark’s Standard Handbook for MechanicalEngineers under Design of Bolted Joints and {7} Standard Handbook of Machine Design chapter22.
Values shown in Figure 2 vary with material type. Table 3 includes the mechanical properties illustratedin the chart by material type. Table 4 includes mechanical properties for various fasteners by gradeand class. For fasteners which do not have a grade or class designation, use Table 3 or refer to thereference material listed in Table 18 for more material properties and formulas. The values can also befound on the Internet. Product details can also be obtained by contacting Reid Customer Service at thetoll-free number listed at the bottom of the page or online at ReidSupply.com.

In Figure 2, tensile forces continuously work against the joint axially in an attempt to pull it apart. At thesame time, shearing forces may work against each other due to motion or vibration in the joint. Tensileforces are necessary to take advantage of friction and generate enough clamping force to maintain jointintegrity. Anytime a fastener is used, forces are built up and stored in the joint that continuously work toboth hold and pull the joint apart. External forces like vibration or rotation in the joint can allow the nut
or bolt to turn and loosen the joint. To prevent joint separation, vibration proof washers or nuts can beused.
During assembly, as the joint is tightened (refer to Figure 2 graph), contact is made between allcomponents in the joint. At this point (0 in the graph), a preload builds within the bolt body. Astightening continues, friction builds between the threads and assembled components. A clamping forceis generated that compresses all components between the bolt head and nut and the bolt stretches inopposition to the pressure. The torque necessary to continue turning the nut increases as the tensionbuilds. While bolt elongation remains in the Elastic Region of Figure 2, the bolt length will return tonormal as tension is decreased.
At the Yield point, continued rotation stretches the elongated bolt to the point of no return (PlasticRegion in Figure 2 graph) and any relaxation of the tension will not return the elongated bolt to itsprevious length or the threads to their original state. This point is known as the Yield Strength (S
Y ) of the
fastener. Continued tension in the axial direction eventually stretches the fastener to the Ultimate TensileStrength (S
T ) where it weakens and finally fractures. Proof Load (S
P ) is a value slightly lower than Yield
Strength before a fastener transitions into the Plastic Region, Figure 2.
Table 3 includes specifications for metric fasteners. Specifications for inch fasteners are listed in theReid Supply catalog and in many of the reference manuals listed in Table 18. These specificationsinclude Yield Strength, Ultimate Tensile Strength and Proof Load for fasteners by grade and class. Thesevalues are used in design considerations to estimate Stress () and Torque (T ) for bolts, screws andrivets.
To estimate Stress and Torque, cross-sectional area must be determined for the fastener. If the fastenerdoes not contain threads, the cross-sectional area is calculated using Eq. 1 {7} (more detailed formulasare included in the Machinery’s Handbook {3}):
Eq. 1A: Cross-sectional Area of Non-threaded Fastener

d d

(Standard formula for area of a circle)
Where: A B

If the fastener is threaded, the cross-sectional area becomes:

Use Eq. 2A {6} to determine the current preload (clamping force) of a fastener relative to a change infastener length. The formula is only valid if the fastener is within the Elastic Region of Figure 2. Eq. 2Bcan be used to estimate the Preload Force ( F
P ) referenced to Proof Load (S
P ).
Eq. 2A: Determining Fastener Preload, Method 1
l
AEe F P
Where: F P
= Preload force
A = Cross-sectional area (for a circle, A=r 2) of fastener (accepted values can befound in MIL-S-8879C)
E = Modulus of elasticity for fastener material found in references listed inTable 18
e = To measure elongation, must be accessible from both ends
l = Original length of bolt
Eq. 2B: Estimating Fastener Preload, Method 2
F P
= S P A
S
Where: F P
= Preload force
S P
= Proof Load by grade or class found in Table 4, Table 5 or references listed inTable 19
AS
= Stress Area of threaded fastener from Eq. 2; if unthreaded, use Eq. 1
With a Preload established, the Torque required to obtain this preload can be estimated using Eq. 3. Theequation allows estimation of the amount of torque to obtain the Proof Load, but that would not allow forexternal forces which may add to existing preload and compromise joint integrity. Adding a safety factorallows for any external forces. If the joint is static, a safety factor of 90% is typical. For dynamic joints, a75% safety factor is acceptable.
Should the joint include a gasket, over-torquing the fastener can compress and damage the gasket.Proof Load (S P ) may be substituted with a lesser predetermined preload or clamping force to better match
the application. Vibration proof washers or nuts can also be used, if necessary.
For Eq. 3, a Torque Coefficient ( K ) is used which represents an experimental value derived fromcoefficient of friction between materials and other factors. This value is discussed in detail in referencematerial found in Table 18 where formulas are given to more accurately calculate this value. Table 6includes some typical values of K .

NOTE: Adding lubrication will decrease the friction between threads and the surface of the fastenerbody. If the wrong value for K can result in over-torquing of the fastener according to Eq. 3.
Eq. 3 is only valid for the linear Elastic Region shown in Figure 2.

Example 1: Estimating Torque for Inch Fastener:
Estimating torque for a 5/8 (0.625) x 11 hex bolt x 2 inch long, Grade 5 that is used to fasten a pivot joinwith a bushing. Referring to one of the reference documents in Table 18 or the Reid Supply catalog, wesee Grade 5 bolts and screws have a Proof Load (S

Applying Eq. 2B, Preload Force is:

S = 85,000 psi x 0.226 in2 = 19,210 lbs.
Using Eq. 3, torque can be calculated. Coefficient of friction = 0.2 for non lubricated mild steel, thetorque is (A Safety Factor of 75% is used for a dynamic joint):
T = KDF P S
F = 0.2 x 0.625 in x 19210 lbs x 75% = 1800 in-lbs = 150 ft-lbs
Example 2: Estimating Torque for Metric Fastener
Estimating torque for an M10 x 1.5 hex bolts, Class 8.8 that are used to fasten a square lid on acontainer. Referring to one of the reference documents in Table 18 or the Reid Supply catalog, we seeClass 8.8 bolts and screws have a Proof Load (S

Yield Strength (S Y ) of 660 MPa.
Using Eq. 1C, the Stress Area is:

Using Eq. 3, torque can be calculated. Coefficient of friction = 0.2 for non lubricated mild steel, thetorque is (a Safety Factor of 90% is used for a static joint):
T = KDF P S
F = 0.2 x 10 mm x 34,800 N x 90% = 62,640 N•mm = 62.6 N•m
NOTE: Eq. 3 can produce a maximum allowed fastener torque if 100% S F
is applied. Depending onthe materials being held, this value may generate more clamping force than is needed for theapplication.
Stress reflects a bolt’s ability to resist shear forces illustrated in Figure 2. Shear forces work laterallyagainst the sides of the fastener and the friction between the parts in a joint. If the Yield Strength isexceeded, the fastener will shear and the joint will fail. Shear Stress is expressed in terms of the forceapplied and the cross-sectional area of the fastener or fasteners used. Eq. 4 assumes:
All fasteners are the same type and size
Joint planes pass through all fasteners equally at body and threaded section.
The coefficient of friction between joints is zero.
CAUTION: If the resulting value of Eq. 4 exceeds the rated Tensile Strength (S T ) of the fastener, it will
likely fail. For critical applications, refer to references listed in Table 18 for more detailsand accurate formulas.

Example 3: Estimating Shear Stress for Cable Connected to a Frame
A half inch ball lock pin is used to secure a yoke to a steel plate that is secured to a frame by two M10x 1.0 Class 8.8 bolts. It is estimated the maximum force applied to the yoke will be 10,000 lbs. What isthe Shear Stress on the ball lock pin and each bolt?
Part A: The Yoke and Ball Lock Pin
Calculating the Stress Area ( AS ) for the ball lock pin using Eq. 1A:
2
4d A
S
= 0.7854 x 0.52 = 0.196 in2
The resulting Shear Stress, from Eq. 4, will be:
0196.01
10000
x Am Am
F
A
F
S T B Br
= 50.9 ksi = 351 MPa
NOTE: Because the tension of the cable on the yoke is equally divided and distributed to each end ofthe ball lock pin, the above result reflects the total shear stress on the ball lock pin which hasfour joint planes passing through it, two on the inside of the yoke and two on the outside. Itcould be argued that because the ends of the pin are not secured, the two inside joint planesabsorb the majority of the stress. The Shear Stress at each joint plane is 50.9/2 or 25.45 ksi.
Estimating the Shear Stress using Eq. 5:
196.012
10000
x xbmA
F
r
= 25.5 ksi = 176 MPa
The Yield Strength listed in Table 3 for steel is 40 ksi - 232 ksi, This would imply the design will workfine and a smaller ball lock pin and yoke may be used.
Part B: Plate Mounting
Calculating the Stress Area for each metric bolt using Eq. 1C (the joint plane passes through the boltthreads):
2
9382.04
P d AS
0.7854(10-0.9382*1.0)2 = 64.5 mm2 = 0.1 in2
The Shear Stress at the plate is (Eq. 4):
5.6420
44500
x Am Am
F
A
F
S T B Br
= 345 MPa = 50 ksi
345 MPa is the Shear Stress for the plate being held by two bolts bolts with 172.5 MPa each. FromTable 4, the Yield Strength for a Class 8.8 metric bolt is 640 MPa, which puts the bolts well within theestimated 172.5 MPa each in this example. Like the ball lock pin in Part A, the bolts are stronger thanrequired for this application.

In this case, hardware refers to any component which can be used in the joining of two or more piecesin an application. A wide variety of industrial hardware is available from Reid Supply. Hardware rangesfrom non-threaded fasteners to most any hardware required for cabinets to seals and gaskets. Refer toTable 17 for a summary of industrial hardware.
Where applicable, the most important design consideration for hardware is strength. For instance,specifications for drawer slides include Rated Load. Some hinges include a working load and somelatches list a grip strength. Eq. 5 can be used for most any fastener to determine minimum load bearingsizes.
CAUTION: When determining load bearing capacities of any fastener, estimate based on the weakest joint of the fastener or hardware component. If uncertain, contact Reid Customer Service at the toll-free number listed at the bottom of the page or online at ReidSupply.com.
Example 4: Estimating the shear stress for a 3/8 inch clevis pin made with 1010 steel. The Yield Strength (S Y )
is 44.2 ksi. The maximum load is determined to be 3000 lbs.
If the pin is used to align and hold two plates only one shear plane exists and either Eq. 4 or Eq. 5:
011.01

Environment can be an important concern when designing any equipment. Metal cutting equipmenttypically uses coolants; medical and food processing systems are concerned with sanitation. All ofthese systems use fasteners and related hardware to hold them together and attach components.Explosion proof hinges are available, if needed.
Weather is also an issue. Seals, gaskets and weather proofing hardware can protect contents bycontaining internal or excluding external influences. Neoprene washers also have environmentalapplication.
As previously mention, food and medical industries are concerned with biological contaminants.Some materials listed in Table 9 and Table 10 are biologically friendly and should be used for these
applications.
Much of the hardware included in Fasteners and Hardware is used in the design, construction andbuilding of enclosures. Latches with locks or built-in sensors, hidden hinges, drawer slides and othercomponents are available which support secure enclosures that can be locked or otherwise madesecure. Heavy duty hardware resists intrusion.
In some instances, space is a premium. The use of thread inserts eliminates the need for external nutsand saves space. Screws can be countersunk or have flat heads which allow movable devices to passover them. Low profile and recessed latches and hinges are also available that conserve space andstreamline the design.
Just the mention of fastener in any design raises concerns of vibration or any influence which candiminish or defeat the purpose of the joint. Several options are available to choose from and are listedin Table 14.
Least important from a practical point of view is aesthetics. However, it can be very important if thedesign is to have a lot of human exposure.
When any component is to be used in a production setting, there are many things to consider relativeto the production process. Fasteners and Hardware are used in the assembly and production of manyproducts. Production requirements may include automation, quality and human factors.

Automation involves the use of equipment and processes which par tially or completely automate aproduction line with minimal human intervention. Automation can be applied to storage and deliverysystems and include the actual assembly of the product; in part or to completion. Automating storageand movement of components is not too difficult. However, when designing an automated assemblysystem, the first step is an attempt to eliminate or reduce the need for fasteners. This is because many
fasteners can be difficult to mechanically handle and install automatically. The designer must determinethe best fastener and hardware which can be used in an automated design.
Reid Supply is proud of its effort to ensure only quality products are found in its catalog and encourageany and all feedback from its customers. If there are any issues, positive or negative, with productspurchased from Reid Supply, contact Customer Service at the toll-free number listed at the bottom ofthe page, online at ReidSupply.com or by email at [email protected].
Any time an operator is part of the process, human factors must be considered. Human factors forFasteners and Hardware are similar to that of Manual Controls and Clamps and Workholding. Refer tothe Manual Controls or Clamps and Workholding Resource Guide for details.
Of course, safety is a high priority for any application; especially when human interface is required. Theintegrity of any application and design can be compromised by:
Improper design - anytime a fastener or other hardware is employed in a design, forces existwithin the joint where the fastener is used. Reid Supply offers many choices for the designer.Specifications for proper implementation of its products is available:
In the catalog - the information in this Resource Guide goes beyond the catalog and attempts togive customers more detailed information to implement Fasteners and Hardware.
As part of U.S. and ISO engineering standards governing dimensions and tolerances, material,production processes and product testing.
A degraded or failed joint - all joints held by fasteners are subject to external influences, from abridge swaying in the wind to a machine driving a tool through a piece of steel to a child droppinga toy. It is up to the designer to anticipate these conditions and select the best fastener or piece ofhardware that will be strong enough and resilient enough to last.
Operator neglect - many aspects of human behavior are both surprising and unpredictable. Forthose that are predictable, there are Fasteners and Hardware which can be purchased to protectboth the human and the product.
The previously discussed design considerations lead to a selection of a fastener or relative hardware.Use this section of the Resource Guide to help determine the product which best meets the designconsiderations for the application. Tables and other information have been included that allow thecomparison of similar products.
Several product lines fall under the Fasteners and Hardware category of the Reid Supply catalog. Eachproduct line offers a variety of styles to choose from. Refer to the many tables listed from this point onin the Resource Guide to help select the best style of Fasteners and Hardware.
While bolts have standard hex head, are straight shanked and have a limited selection of thread types,screws have a variety of heads, shanks, driver types and threads. The type of thread is determined bythe material being fastened to and its properties.
Table 7 lists screw thread types, while Table 8 illustrates different head types. Table 8 also shows thereference point from which screw length is measured. {3,6,7}

Screw head styles are selected for aesthetics and practical reasons. Practical reasons include strengthand space. In some cases a low profile is required due to mechanical motion, while others require astrong head to hold down a part. Table 8 lists some common head styles and drive types. More drivetypes can be found in the Maintenance, Repair and Operations Resource Guide.
Table 8: Screw Head Styles
Head Style Description
ACORN HEAD
Full UndercutA very neat appearing trim screw for appliance application-excellent wrench surfaces.
BINDING HEADStraight Side
Generally used in electrical and radio work because of its identifying undercut beneath the head,which binds and eliminates fraying of stranded wire. Offers an attractively designed, medium-low headwith ordinarily sufficient bearing surface. Not ordinarily recommended as a Phillips Recessed Head-see Pan Head for better functional design.
FILLISTER HEAD
The standard oval fillister head has a smaller diameter than the round head, but is higher with acorrespondingly deeper slot. The smaller diameter head increases the pressure applied on thesmaller area and can be assembled close to flanges and raised surfaces. Headed in counterboreddies to insure concentricity, they may be used successfully in counterbored holes.
FLAT AND OVAL
Heads Undercut
This is the standard flat or oval head 80° to 82° countersunk screw which has the lower one-third ofthe countersunk portion removed to facilitate production of extremely short lengths. As illustrated, itwill fit a standard counterbored hole and is particularly adaptable to flush assemblies in thin stock.
FLAT HEAD
Supplied to standard dimensions with an 80° to 82° angle to be used where finished surfaces requirea flush fastening unit. The countersunk portion offers good centering possibilities. This style takes fulladvantage of the self-centering feature of the countersunk portion and provides a smooth, flush outersurface.
FLAT HEAD
100’ Countersunk
This special Flat Head screw has been developed for applications requiring flush surfaces and isrecommended for use in soft materials to distribute pressure over a larger and less angular surface.Very well adapted for use with thin aluminum, soft plastics, etc.
HEXAGON HEAD
Trimmed
This is the standard type of wrench-applied hexagon head, characterized by clean, sharp cornerstrimmed to close tolerances. Recommended for general applications. It is available in all standardpatterns and in all thread diameters.
INDENTEDHEXAGON
An inexpensive wrench head fastener made to standard hexagon head dimensions. The hex iscompletely cold upset in a counterbored die and possesses an identifying depression in the topsurface of the head.

Head Style Description
INDENTEDHEXAGON
WASHER HEAD
Produced in the same manner as the standard indented hexagon head but with a washer section atthe base of the head to protect the finish of the assembly from wrench disfigurement.
ONE-WAY HEADThis ingenious, tamper-proof type of head, once assembled cannot be removed, yet is driven witha standard screw driver. Manufactured with amazing economy in productive quantities, this simpledesign can frequently solve costly assembly problems.
OVAL HEADFully specified as “oval countersunk”, this head is identical to the standard flat head, but possesses arounded, neat appearing upper surface for attractiveness of design.
PAN HEAD
Recommended for new designs to replace round, truss and binding heads. Provides a low largediameter head, but with characteristically high outer edge along the-outer periphery of the headwhere driving action is most effective for high tightening torques. Slightly different head contour wheresupplied with recessed head.
PHILLIPSFINISHING
WASHER HEADDesigned as a neat appearance product for the electronic and appliance trade with all threaded styles.
ROUND HEADNot recommended for new design (see Pan Head). This head was the most universally used designin the past.
SQUARESHOULDER
An adaptation of the standard carriage bolt design. Possesses a truss head on a square shank whichresists rotation when located or driven into place. This square shoulder may also be staked into placeas a permanent fastener. A great many varieties in all screw diameters are available in productivequantities.
TRUSS HEAD
Also known as Oven Head, Stove Head, and Oval Binding Head. A low, neat appearing, largediameter head having excellent design qualities, and as illustrated can be used to cover largerdiameter clearance holes in sheet metal when additional play in assembly tolerance is required.Suggest Pan Head as a substitute.
Type “T”
Overlug
For applications requiring smooth, finished outer surfaces. Under surface of head is designed forperfect electrode contact.
WASHER HEAD
This design has the finished appearance of a conventional round head plus washer and was originallycreated to provide extra large bearing surface under the head. The modern “truss” head (carriedin stock) normally answers this purpose. When a larger diameter is required this washer head isrecommended.
WELDING HEAD
Type U(Underlug)
The welding screw has been developed to provide a strong permanent threaded fastener whichbecomes an integral part of the assembly. It utilizes the principle of projection welding by means ofmultiple lugs applied to various head surfaces.
Type U is for general application. Assembles easily into pre-located holes and fully utilizes headstrength. Top surfaces of head designed for efficient welding anode contact.
As discussed previously, materials must be considered when selecting fasteners and related hardware.Table 9 lists some common materials used for Fasteners and Hardware. Table 10 and Table 11 list
basic properties of metals and plastics. More details on material properties can be found in some of thereference documents listed in Table 18. [1,3]
Material considerations include:
Properties The properties of materials used to produce fasteners are governed by standards andlisted by Grade or Class. Material properties can be found in tables within this ResourceGuide, in reference material listed in Table 18 and on the Internet.
Stress Material stress and fatigue can also be an issue if the material selected will not hold up tothe applied forces and bend or brake. This can be a function of both internal and external

forces applied and for how long. Equations and tables provided in this Resource Guide, inreference material listed in Table 18 and on the Internet can be used to estimate strengthof materials use for fasteners and related hardware.
Most all fasteners and some hardware components list strength factors as previously
stated.
Strength Much of the information provided previously in Design Considerations is related to strengthof materials.
WARNING: Selecting a fastener or hardware that is too weak for any application will compromise itsintegrity and lead to equipment damage, personal injury or worse.
Corrosion Should the material used have an adverse reaction to chemicals or temperature or both, itmay not perform well. Corrosion, mold and mildew are concerns of the food and medicalindustry along with a material’s reaction to cleaning solutions. Table 12 of the ManualControls Resource Guide lists chemical properties of common plastics.
Weight Weight may be an issue that would favor plastics, but aluminum is also an option for somehardware. In the case of fasteners, less weight usually means less strength.
Friction Anytime parts come together and lateral forces exist, friction is generated. Friction is
an important factor for critical joints and calculations used to design them. If wear is aconcern, friction must be considered in the selection of fasteners and related hardware.It may be neglected for estimating and selecting Fasteners and Hardware for non-criticalapplications.
Other Conductivity, thermal properties, hardness, wear resistance, plasticity, and more. If theseand other considerations are required when selecting Fasteners and Hardware, refer toreference material listed in Table 18 or contact Reid Customer Service at the toll-freenumber posted at the bottom of the page, online at ReidSupply.com or email Reid atmail @ReidSupply.com.
Refer to Table 9 to help decide on a material to be used for your application based on materialproperties. [1,3]

Standards offer no clear definition between a screw and a bolt. Generally speaking:
A bolt shank is 1/4 inch or more in diameter with straight threads and is always held on the other endby a nut or threaded hole in a block or other structure.
Bolt heads are typically limited to hex type and have threads that meet a specification such as M,MJ, UN, UNR or UNJ.
Bolts are grouped by grade for inch or class for metric sizes.
Screws:
Have a 1/4 inch or smaller shank with either straight or tapered threads. Straight threads are usedlike a bolt, but the head is something other than a hex head. However, a hex-washer head screw isan exception. Socket head cap screws are also an exception.
Can have tapered threads that are self tapping and intended to be driven into a substrate directlyor follow a pilot hole. The style of tapered thread determines the intended substrate: wood, plastic,cement, etc.
Determining the best fastener to use for any applications requires some engineering. Along withresearch for material types and fastener styles, some calculations are necessary. Eq. 3 and Eq 4 can
be transposed to get a minimum diameter:

Where: d = Estimated Diameter of fastener
P = Thread Pitch, set to zero for non-threaded fastener

NOTE: 1) Eq. 6 was derived from transposing Eq. 1C and Eq. 2B Although Eq. 1C is for metric fasteners, it can be
used to estimate both inch and metric diameters (see note 3).2) For non-threaded fasteners, set P = 0 and substitute Proof Load (S
P ) for Yield Strength (S
Y ) by material
found in Table 3 or from references listed in Table 18.
3) A safety factor should be included when selecting the best diameter fastener for the application.

Term Definition
Axial Parallel to and along a given axis. Usually referenced to the direction of motionor force vectors.
Lateral Perpendicular to a given axis. Usually referenced to a sideways direction ofmotion or force vectors.
Preload ( P ) The amount of axial force added to a fastener to form a predeterminedclamping force. It is applied by torquing down a fastener or crimping arivet. If this value is exceeded by external forces, the joint integrity could becompromised.
Proof Load (S P ) Proof load is a tension-applied load that the fastener must support withoutevidence of permanent deformation. Proof load is an absolute value, not amaximum or minimum. Proof loads are established at approximately 90 to 93percent of the expected minimum yield strength of the fastener material.
Shear Stress The application of lateral forces, Figure 2, to a fastener and joint.
Strain () To pull, draw or stretch beyond the proper or legitimate limit. To apply anexternal force to the point of deformity.
Stress An applied force or system of forces that tends to strain or deform a body.
Stress Area The cross-sectional area of an object measured within a plane parallel to andin line with the applied forces creating stress.
Tensile Strength (S T ) Illustrated in Figure 2, Tensile strength (minimum value is usually given) for
fasteners is the amount of axial force that can be applied to a fastener withoutpermanently changing its shape. Forces exceeding this value can permanently
elongate or break the fastener.Torque (T )
Measured in N·m (Newton meter) or ft-lbs (foot-pounds), Torque is the resultingradial force ( F ) applied over a radial distance ( R) at, and normal to, the pivotpoint ( P ). The equation: T = FR
For example: if a force ( F ) of 50 N is applied 300 mm ( R) from the center of thepivot point ( P ), the resulting torque would be 15 N·m; or: 50 N x .3 m = 15 N·m.
Yield Strength (S Y ) The minimum amount of lateral force exerted against a fastener before
breaking. If exceeded, the fastener integrity could be compromised and distortor break the fastener and joint.
