Widely used for fabricating fittings and fasteners, 303 stainless steel machines quickly without sticking to cutting tools.

One of the most machinable types of stainless steel available, 416 contains sulfur for fast machining without clogging cutting tools. It's used for gears, screws, and shafts.

The lead additive acts as a lubricant, which allows 12L14 carbon steel to withstand very fast machining. It's used to fabricate a wide variety of machine parts.

These hex bars are hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance. They are also stress relieved to reduce the chance of warping during machining.

The most widely used aluminum, 6061 is fabricated into everything from pipe fittings and containers to automotive and aerospace parts. It is strong and corrosion resistant, plus it's easy to machine and weld.

2011 has the best machinability of all the aluminum alloys. It is the most selected aluminum for screws, tube fittings, hose parts, and other items that require extensive machining.

The most formable brass we offer, 260 offers better weldability than 300 series brass but it’s not as machinable. Sometimes called cartridge brass, it's commonly used for ammunition casings, radiator components, and decorative door hardware.

Grade 5 is the strongest of all the titanium alloys thanks to its higher aluminum and vanadium content. It offers a versatile mix of good corrosion resistance, weldability, and formability. It's often used for turbine blades, fasteners, and spacer rings.

The addition of PTFE provides a more slippery, wear-resistant surface than standard Delrin® acetal resin. It’s commonly fabricated into pump components, gears, and bearings.

When moisture-resistant polyester is combined with PTFE, the result is this self-lubricating material. It’s also called Hydex and PBT.

Known for its naturally slippery surface, PTFE surpasses most plastics when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures.

Also called reprocessed and mechanical-grade PTFE, this material is an economical alternative to standard PTFE.

This glass-filled PTFE is more rigid than standard PTFE for increased durability in high-stress applications.

Carbon enhances the stiffness of this material, while the addition of PTFE ensures a slippery surface.

PTFE threaded rods withstand temperatures up to 250° F and resist oil, grease, detergents, and most mineral acids. They're the lowest friction plastic threaded rods we offer, so they thread on smoothly.

Turn these studs with a hex key for ease of installation.

For light duty applications, choose these metric-sized coupling nuts.

Made from Grade 5 steel, these inch-sized coupling nuts are suitable for most applications.

Made from Grade 8 steel, these nuts are about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel coupling nuts. Furnished in inch thread sizes.

Comparable in strength to Grade 9 bolts, these coupling nuts are about 20% stronger than high-strength steel coupling nuts. Available in inch thread sizes.

These metric coupling nuts have good chemical resistance.

More corrosion resistant than 18-8 stainless steel coupling nuts, these metric nuts have excellent resistance to chemicals and salt water.

One-third the weight of steel, aluminum coupling nuts resist corrosion in wet environments.

Known for their strength, steel coupling nuts are available with a corrosion-resistant finish.

Connect two differently sized male-threaded parts, such as threaded rods, and tighten with a standard wrench.

Adapt threaded rods from inch to metric. These adapters connect two male-threaded fasteners, so you can change the gender of a mating part or increase or decrease its thread size. The hex-shaped body fits into the head of a standard wrench.

These metric lead screws and nuts have broad, square threads that are well suited for quick assembly, high clamping forces, and lifting and lowering heavy objects. They're commonly found in hand-powered clamps, vises, grates, doors, and work tables.

Similar to turnbuckles, these rods have right-hand threads on one end and left-hand threads on the other so you can make a linkage that adjusts for tension.

A PTFE-embedded insert or PTFE liner reduces wear, handles shock loads, and eliminates the need for lubrication.

Made of cadmium-plated steel, these internally threaded rod ends generally handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends.

With at least 55° of ball swivel, these rod ends accommodate greater misalignment than any other internally threaded rod end we offer.

Made of stainless steel, these internally threaded rod ends provide excellent corrosion resistance.

These anodized aluminum rod ends are lighter than stainless steel rod ends and have good corrosion resistance. Internal threads mate with rod end bolts, threaded rods, and other components with male threads.

These internally threaded steel rod ends handle loads that are at least 25% higher than other comparably sized rod ends.

Along with internal threads, these rod ends have a double row of precision ball bearings that allows high speeds and smooth operation.

A slippery PTFE liner reduces wear and eliminates the need for lubrication.
