Fasteners are a general term for components made from various materials used to mechanically connect two or more structures and components. Fasteners, or "hardware," specifically refer to fastening elements made exclusively from metals. This terminology is commonly used in industry and machine engineering.
Features and Classification of Fasteners
The term "fasteners" is quite broad, encompassing a wide variety of components. Fastening elements can be made from both metals and non-metals.
Metal fasteners (hardware) are typically manufactured from alloyed, carbon, or stainless steel. However, some products are made from aluminum, titanium, copper, brass, nickel, and other alloys. For 3D printers and CNC machines, metiz are usually made from stainless and alloyed steel, as well as aluminum.
Non-metal fasteners for 3D printers are made from various polymer materials (engineering plastics), the most popular and durable of which is nylon. To improve their operational characteristics and corrosion resistance, hardwares are often coated with special finishes (zinc, chrome, nickel, anodized, phosphate, etc.).
Fasteners for 3D Printers
Fasteners are among the least noticeable components of a 3D printer and any other CNC machine. If you take a close look at your 3D printer, you might discover nearly a hundred different fastening elements.
Common fasteners found in almost any 3D printer include:
-
T-bolts: Used for installation in structural aluminum profiles to securely fix components using threaded connections.
-
Hex nuts: Used for convenience and reliable fastening of products with wrenches.
-
Square slide nuts: Typically installed in structural profiles, allowing for free movement within the slots. Used for adjusting and securing the working components of the 3D printer.
-
Corner connectors: Used to provide additional rigidity to parts that are fastened perpendicularly to one another.
-
External aluminum angles: Feature an additional rib for added rigidity, making the supporting structure more reliable and stable.
-
In-slot connectors: Designed for hidden threaded fastening.
-
T-nuts: Installed in structural profiles and designed for easy and secure threaded attachment of components.
-
Socket head screws: The most commonly used fasteners in 3D printers. They are easy to tighten and loosen in hard-to-reach places due to the L-shaped design of the hex key.
-
Internal aluminum angles: Feature several ribs for maximum rigidity in securing the 3D printer and CNC machine’s supporting structure in both horizontal and vertical planes.
-
Excentric nuts: Used for adjusting and positioning the rollers of the extruder carriage and other mechanisms on CNC machines.
-
Springs: Available in both metal and plastic varieties. They are used to adjust the position of the 3D printer platform and for regulating the clamping mechanism of the extruder.
