JM Hardware is a custom bolt manufacturer with 18 years experiences, our bolts are used by a broad range of industries requiring assemblies and fastening applications. These threaded fasteners can connect machine parts, mount equipment, and more. As a removable fastener, they also facilitate the regular maintenance and inspections that keep equipment running longer. JM offers both standard and custom bolts and fasteners to meet different grades and specifications. This ensures we can cover the full spectrum of our manufacturing customers’ applications, including Mining, Heavy equipment, Construction, Transportation, Automotive and Energy and alternative energy.
Captive screws, also known as captive panel screws or captive fasteners, feature a permanently attached washer or retainer that prevents the screw from becoming lost or misplaced. They are commonly used in equipment enclosures, access panels, and electronic devices where frequent maintenance or servicing is required. Shoulder screws, also known as shoulder bolts or stripper bolts, feature a cylindrical shoulder between the head and the threads. They are used in applications requiring precise alignment or spacing, such as machinery, automotive components, and tooling fixtures. Shoulder screws may have hex, socket, or slotted heads and are available with various shoulder diameters and lengths.
Types of Washers – Washers come in various shapes and materials, each with its unique properties and applications. Some common types include: Flat washers: These are the most common type, providing a larger bearing surface to distribute the fastener load evenly. Lock washers: These washers help prevent nuts and bolts from loosening due to vibration. They come in various forms, such as split lock washers and tooth lock washers. Fender washers: These have a larger outer diameter than standard washers, making them ideal for use with thin sheet metal or oversized holes. Applications of Washers – Washers are used in conjunction with nuts and bolts in a wide range of applications.
Cost-Effective Solutions for Clients – For clients looking to keep costs low while still achieving an aesthetically pleasing finish, we recommend focusing on the following surface treatments: Zinc Plating: As one of the most affordable options, zinc plating is ideal for achieving a shiny, metallic finish. It’s suitable for automotive, consumer electronics, and general industrial applications where basic corrosion resistance is required. Black Oxide: This treatment is relatively low-cost and gives screws a sleek, black finish. It’s perfect for applications where a non-reflective, matte finish is preferred, such as automotive interiors and certain electronics. Discover additional info at jm-fastener.com.
Enhanced Security: Bolts provide enhanced security in critical applications. For example, tamper-proof bolts are used in public infrastructure and high-security installations to prevent unauthorized disassembly. The ability to use locking mechanisms, such as lock nuts or thread-locking compounds, further enhances the security and reliability of bolted connections. Compatibility with High-Strength Applications: Bolts are better suited for high-strength applications due to their robust design and the ability to use high-grade materials. Grade 8 or 10.9 bolts, for example, offer exceptional tensile strength and are used in demanding environments such as automotive suspensions and heavy machinery.
Quality Assurance: Manufacturers use salt spray testing to ensure that custom automotive fasteners meet the required quality and performance standards. It helps ensure that products will function reliably over time, reducing the risk of failure due to rust, corrosion, or material degradation. Compliance with Industry Standards: Certain industries, particularly automotive and aerospace, have strict regulations and standards that require fasteners to undergo salt spray testing. Meeting these standards ensures that the products are safe and reliable in their applications.
