How can we improve?

16,291 Products

Raw Materials

Steel

Strong, machinable, and weldable—all with material certificates for traceability

Plastic

A lightweight alternative to metal and glass

Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel

Resists corrosion and chemicals in most environments—all with material certificates for traceability

Aluminum

Lightweight, easy to machine, and corrosion resistant—all with material certificates for traceability

Brass

More machinable than copper and bronze—all with material certificates for traceability

Copper

Our most conductive metal for electrical applications—all with material certificates for traceability

Garolite

A strong, machinable alternative to metal and plastic widely used in circuit boards and gears

Bronze

Better wear resistance than copper and brass—all with material certificates for traceability

Titanium

The most corrosion-resistant metal we offer—all with material certificates for traceability

Fiberglass

A lightweight alternative to metal and wood widely used in electrical and structural applications

Rubber

Compresses and bounces back to shape; often used for sealing, cushioning, and shock absorbing

Carbon Fiber

The strongest composite we offer; comparable in strength to 6061 aluminum but lighter in weight

Ceramic

Hard and wear resistant, it also withstands corrosion and high temperatures

Glass

Clear and highly heat and chemical resistant; often used in sights, lighting, and lab equipment

Nickel

An upgrade from stainless steel to withstand harsh chemicals and acids—all with material certificates for traceability

Graphite

Compressible or conductive for making high-temperature seals, furnace parts, and crucibles

Wood

Commonly used to build ramps, crates, and prototypes or to make repairs

Foam

Pockets of air make it lighter in weight than rubber; good for packing, insulating, and sealing

Hard Fiber

Chemically treated to be hard and dense, this is the easiest composite to machine in our offering

Lead

A dense insulator often used to shield against radiation and absorb sound and vibration

Zinc

Draws corrosion away from nearby metal; an alternative to lead for sound barriers and vibration dampers

Molybdenum

Retains its shape and strength in extreme temperatures—all with material certificates for traceability

Cobalt

Resists impact and rapid temperature changes—all with material certificates for traceability

Mica

An electrical insulator that resists high temperatures; use in circuit breakers and heating elements

Niobium

Conductive and corrosion resistant even at extreme temperatures—all with material certificates for traceability

Kevlar

Super tough for protection against prolonged wear and abrasion

Felt

Thicker and more absorbent than fabric for insulating, polishing, cushioning, and gasketing

Leather

Durable and long lasting; often used for belting, lacing, and sealing applications

Fastening and Joining

Dowel Pins

Align parts before assembly or use as a pivot, shaft, or hinge to join moving components

Dowel Pin Stock

Dowel Pin Stock

Cut to the length you need for positioning and holding parts in place

Standoffs

Threaded to separate or connect parts as well as position components in assemblies

Thread Adapters

Thread Adapters

Join threads of a different type, size, and gender

Brazing Alloys

Form stronger bonds between metal parts than solder without melting the base material

Magnets

Attract or repel metal objects to hang, secure, or position them

Sealing

Backer Rods

Insert into gaps before caulking to reduce how much sealant you need and improve adhesion

Power Transmission

Lead Screws and Nuts

Lead Screws and Nuts

Components travel along a screw with broad, square threads to clamp and lift heavy loads

Shafts

Transmit power, motion, and speed between machine components

Shaft Supports

Support linear motion shafts to prevent bending and rolling under loads

Material Handling

Conveyor Guide Mounting Rods

Conveyor Guide Mounting Rods

Secure guides and other attachments to conveyors

Facility and Grounds Maintenance

Rebar

Reinforces concrete to reduce the chance it will crack from expansion and contraction

Rebar Caps

Brightly colored to alert workers to exposed rebar and pipe

Fabricating and Machining

Magnetic Retrievers

Magnetic Retrievers

Pick up screws, nuts, and other small magnetic objects

Building and Machinery Hardware

Multipoint Latch Conversion Kits

Multipoint Latch Conversion Kits

Turn your single-point lock or latch into a system that fastens doors at multiple points
