FAQ

What exactly is the purpose/function of this component?
The fastener provides clamping force, positioning, or securing of a mechanical connection and is therefore often a functionally critical assembly component. The thread, material, and strength determine the load-bearing capacity of the connection.

How can you identify a defect or typical symptoms?
Typical damage includes corrosion, damaged threads, plastic elongation, rounded heads, or loss of preload resulting in movement of the assembly. For spacers and adapters, wear marks and dimensional loss are also relevant.

How do you inspect or test the component?
The threads, head or contact surfaces, length, diameter, pitch, and, if applicable, the tightening torque or residual clamping force are inspected. A multimeter is not effective here; visual inspection, dimensional checks, and proper fit are crucial.

When should it be replaced?
The part should be replaced in cases of corrosion, deformation, a damaged thread, or if the manufacturer specifies single-use only. Replacement is also recommended after destructive disassembly or if strength is uncertain.

How do you check compatibility?
Key factors include the OEM part number, thread size, length, pitch, head or body geometry, material, and surface coating. The under-head clearance, strength class, and installation location must also match.
