Industrial fasteners are small yet critical parts that secure structures, machinery, and equipment together, ensuring that various systems function properly. Though they are simple in nature, understanding the diverse range of fasteners, their uses, and proper installation can be challenging. In this blog, we will cover common questions about industrial fasteners to help you make informed decisions.

As many of you are probably familiar, a pneumatic system is any system that relies on pressurized air or gas. In order to drive actions, air or gas typically travels through a series of pipes, hoses, and/or tubes similar to the flow of liquids through hydraulic systems. Connecting to one another and various components in the system, these network channels require airtight seals to maintain leak-free joints. As such, a pneumatic fitting works to establish a tight connection between the components of a pneumatic system. With applications in virtually all industries, pneumatic systems range in their specific channel types, so a vast array of pneumatic fittings are available for procurement depending on the characteristics of their applications. For your better knowledge, we will explore some popular types of pneumatic fittings.

With hundreds of moving and vibrating surfaces on an aircraft at any given time, unchecked friction could lead to a sudden spike in temperature and eventual mechanical failure. To prevent such an occurrence, all moveable parts of an aircraft must be properly lubricated before use. In this blog, we will discuss the types of lubricant used on aircraft to reduce friction and keep them working like a "well-oiled machine."
