The
way equipment works fascinates many. Yet most of the various parts
are actually combined and connected to one another by means of
various fasteners. As a result, it is interesting to note that
fasteners have a very important impact on the automobile industry, as
they can literally make or break it all. Bolts, nuts and grub screws
are there to create new elements or parts in a machine. They are
strictly speaking a key part of the foundation of machines as they
have an impact on both manufacturing and engineering. While designing
the engineer will need to take into account which fasteners will be
needed so as to join parts of components together in a safe and
effective manner.
Grub Screws or they are sometimes referred to, blind set screws, are often
used. Rather than having a head like other types of screws, they have
a hole. This hole comes in different shapes such as a hexagon, a
square or star shaped. Grub screws are often used as safety holders.
Grub screws are often used when there are parts which are connected
to a shaft. This includes bearings, pulleys and couplings, for
example.
