Threaded Fasteners

Threaded Fasteners for Automotive and Industrial Applications

Threaded fasteners are among the most widely used mechanical fastening solutions in automotive and industrial assemblies. By using mating threads to create a secure connection, they provide reliable clamping force, easy assembly and the possibility of maintenance or disassembly when required.

At FACIL, we offer a comprehensive range of threaded fasteners engineered to meet the requirements of automotive OEMs, Tier suppliers and industrial manufacturers. Our portfolio includes bolts, screws, studs, nuts, pipe plugs and other threaded fastening solutions available in various materials, coatings, sizes and performance grades.

Whether used in body structures, chassis systems, battery packs, electronic modules or industrial equipment, threaded fasteners provide the strength, durability and reliability required for demanding applications.

Types of Threaded Fasteners

FACIL offers a wide range of threaded fastening solutions, including:

External Threaded Fasteners

Components featuring an external thread, such as bolts, screws, threaded studs, pipe plugs, U-bolts and weld bolts, designed to engage with internally threaded parts.

Internal Threaded Fasteners

Components containing an internal thread, including nuts, wheel nuts, clinch nuts, rivet nuts, weld nuts and U-type nuts, which provide secure threaded attachment points.

Each product category is designed to support specific assembly requirements while meeting automotive quality and performance standards.

Benefits of Threaded Fasteners

Threaded fasteners offer several advantages:

• High mechanical strength
• Reliable performance under vibration
• Easy assembly and maintenance
• Reusable fastening solutions
• Available in multiple materials and coatings
• Suitable for automated production environments
• Wide range of automotive and industrial applications

These benefits make threaded fasteners one of the most versatile and widely used joining methods in modern manufacturing.

Threaded vs Non-Threaded Fasteners

The primary difference between threaded and non-threaded fasteners is how the connection is achieved.

Threaded fasteners use mating threads to create a removable mechanical joint, allowing components to be assembled, serviced and replaced when necessary.

Non-threaded fasteners, such as clips, rivets and other permanent joining solutions, are typically used when disassembly is not required or when a permanent connection is preferred.

The most suitable fastening solution depends on the application, load requirements, accessibility and maintenance needs.
