Thread-forming Screws vs. Thread-cutting Screws: Torque, Strength, and Joint Reliability
Installation torque is one of the most noticeable differences between thread-forming and thread-cutting screws, and it plays a critical role in joint reliability. Thread-forming screws typically require higher driving torque because they displace material rather than cutting it. This increased torque must be carefully managed to avoid overstressing the base material. When properly installed,...

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Screwing in an Eye Bolt
Improper eye bolt installation is a frequent cause of lifting accidents. Understanding common mistakes can help prevent serious issues. One major error is using straight eye bolts for angled loads. Without a shoulder, these bolts are not designed to handle side forces. Another mistake is insufficient thread engagement, which reduces holding strength. Over-tightening is also problematic....

Common Self-locking Nut Designs and How They Prevent Loosening
Fastener failure can lead to serious safety risks, which is why self-locking nuts are widely adopted in critical assemblies. These nuts are specifically designed to maintain tightness over time. Nylon insert lock nuts are among the most recognizable designs. Their nylon ring creates friction with the bolt threads, reducing the risk of loosening. They are best suited for moderate temperatures...
