The process-free "Automatic" fastener is now being produced by Item in stainless steel, following higher than expected sales of other stainless steel components such as T-slot nuts.
Suitable even where vibration is present, automatic fasteners require only socket wrenches to fit (no drilling or tapping required), and are typically used as corner joints to build or modify aluminium frames where machining facilities are not readily to hand.
Automatic fasteners are a particular favourite of commissioning engineers who must work on site, but up until now could not be used in hostile or wet environments because even though zinc-plated, they would eventually corrode.
