Length of Engagement:

The length of full-sized fastener threads that engage in the nut material. The length of the lead thread is not counted in the length of engagement, since its reduced size minimizes any performance benefits. The length of engagement is usually expressed in relationship to the nominal diameter of the screw (e.g. 2 to 2-1/2 diameters of engagement).

Fastener Services

Fastener Services
 
Fastener distributors often provide technical assistance to the customer on fastener standards to aid in their selection process. They provide training material to the customer.

Other fastener distributors help with the standardization of fasteners. This task can be done in in several different ways, but one of the most effective is to analyze an actual customer supplied product. For example, in a lab, customer supplied products ranging from lawn mowers to soda dispensers to furniture are reviewed. Current fastener usage and what the customer can change to provide a more consistent and standardized fastened product is analyzed.

Distributors who have contact with the customer and their designers means fastener alternatives at the most logical time; during the actual design phase of the project.

Quality Assurance Labs are able to provide the customer with fastener mechanical and chemical analysis. In the event of a fastener failure, testing will aid the customer with sleuthing the possible causes. In the event of fastener misuse,  engineering experts at fastener distribution companies can work with the customer on possible alternatives.
