One of the major topics we have been discussing is coefficient of friction and the importance of understanding how it can affect your bolted joint. Not all fastener coatings have the same frictional characteristics; some can have a lubricated top coat and some have a non-lubricated top coat (higher friction value). So how does this affect your bolted joint?  In most cases if you were to switch to a part that has a lubricated top coat from one without it, you would see bolts stretching and breaking. The cause is that the coefficient of friction has decreased which increased your clamp load at the previous torque value resulting in a failed joint.  The reason it is important to understand this relationship is because it can increase manufacturing costs or even create warranty claims because the changes in friction have a direct relationship to the clamp load created in the joint.  At LPS Bossard India , we have the capability to perform joint testing so we can help you b...

Fastening solutions for electrical cabinet applications are designed to secure and protect electrical components within an electrical cabinet. There are several types of fastening solutions, including: Screws : Screws are the most common type of fastening solution and are used to secure panels, covers, and other components within an electrical cabinet. There are various types of screws, including self-tapping screws, machine screws, and wood screws. Nuts and Bolts : Nuts and bolts are also widely used in electrical cabinet applications. They provide a secure and durable connection between two components and are often used in high-load applications. Rivets : Rivets are fasteners that are used to join two components together. They are often used in applications where access to the backside of the components is not possible. Adhesives: Adhesives are another fastening solution that can be used in electrical cabinet applications . They are ideal for attaching small components, s...
