Attaching metal pieces to one another with a screw is relatively straightforward. But using threaded fasteners on plastics, which are lightweight, low-density materials compared to metals, can be ...

BosScrew fasteners reportedly prevent plastic assemblies from loosening as a result of plastic creep that dissipates clamp load. The product is said to provide as much as four times the holding power ...

Translating rotary motion to linear motion is a basic part of mechatronic design. Take a look at the nearest 3D-printer or CNC router — at least the Cartesian variety — and you’ll see some mechanism ...
