7 types of common fasteners

A fastener is a mechanical component used to connect, secure, close or support a component.

Common fasteners include bolts and nuts, screws, washers, rivets, pins, nails, anchors 7 categories.

Bolts are fasteners with external threads that are used to pass through the connected objects and cooperate with nuts to secure the objects. Nuts are internally threaded fasteners used to mate with bolts to achieve connections.

Screws are fasteners similar to bolts, but usually do not require mating nuts and can directly connect two or more parts together.

A rivet usually consists of a metal rod with a head formed on the other end. In use, one end of the rivet is placed between the materials to be joined and then secured by forming a head on the other end, usually by nailing or squeezing.
