Robot Fastener Selection Principles
Tension vs. Shear
Fasteners should primarily handle axial tension (pre-load). Avoid letting screws bear primary shear forces. Use dowel pins and cylinder fits for positioning, and let friction from pre-load transmit torque.
Strength Grades
For joint flanges and gearboxes, Grade 12.9 Alloy Steel (DIN 912) is mandatory. For general frames, 10.9 or 8.8 suffices. Use A4-70 Stainless for wet/coastal environments.
Torque Management
Reliability depends on torque control. Use precision torque wrenches. For robotics, a cross-tightening sequence is vital to ensure even pressure distribution across flanges.
Common Types in Modern Robotics
Socket Head Cap Screws: The workhorse of robot joints. High torque capacity in compact spaces.
Grub Screws: Used for shaft-hub positioning. Must be paired with pins for high-torque paths.
Nylon Lock Nuts: Essential for vibration resistance in mobile/humanoid robots.
Quality Assurance & Testing
To ensure stable and high-quality products, we conduct rigorous in-house QC at multiple production stages under ISO 9001 standards.
We prioritize structural reliability by providing detailed technical reports for each order, covering critical metrics such as tensile strength, torque, and coating thickness to minimize risks like hydrogen embrittlement.
