APPLICATION ENGINEERING

A Better Route
from Problem to Part.

A hole, an edge, a pipe or a cable bundle. Every mounting point asks a different question. Start with your assembly and work toward the right fastening.

THE FASTENING VOCABULARY

Fastening Terminology

Six terms that help engineering and purchasing work from the same specification.

Actual size & trade description

A catalog name can be a convenient shorthand. For ordering, use the model and published width and length. The Xiaogu Electric 3×100 mm catalog description, for example, lists an actual size of 2.5×100 mm.

Explore the relevant guide
Tie length & bundle diameter

Tie length describes the strap; bundle diameter describes the cable group it needs to surround. Use the model’s published bundle capacity where available and evaluate it with your actual bundle.

Explore the relevant guide
Hole size & panel thickness

These describe different parts of a mounting interface. Supply both, together with hole shape and rear clearance, when reviewing a hole-mounted fixing.

Explore the relevant guide
Tensile evaluation & mounting retention

A tie-loop test and a fixing-retention test answer different questions. Specify which interface is being tested, the test method and your acceptance criteria.

Explore the relevant guide
Material family & exact grade

PA66, PA46, PA12 and ETFE identify material families in the product range. The selected grade and product specification determine which supporting data you need to request. Color alone does not define a performance specification.

Explore the relevant guide
Company certificate & sample report

A quality management certificate concerns its stated organizational scope. A sample report concerns the identified sample and test scope. Read the complete applicable document before using it for a part review.
