Industrial Engine Fasteners and Components

MacLean-Fogg Component Solutions supplies fasteners, formed components and engineered plastics for industrial engine applications. The portfolio provides separate routes for temperature-sensitive joints, custom threaded parts, hose fittings and molded components.

Review the joint before choosing a high-temperature fastener

The high-temperature bolts and studs page discusses engine exhaust and turbocharger applications. An application review should consider fastener temperature, thermal cycling, vibration, joint materials and installation requirements together. The high-temperature fastening resource supports that discussion.

Define the threaded part and fitting geometry

Custom cold-formed special fasteners include internally threaded parts with non-standard shapes or extended lengths. Hose crimp fittings are cold formed and can include internal grooves. These are different component families; identify the function and geometry before comparing manufacturing options.

Explore functional plastics and molded fasteners

EPC offers functional engineered plastic components and insert-molded fasteners. The plastics development process can involve material selection, predictive analysis, testing and evaluation. Define the component's operating requirements rather than assuming that a general molding capability establishes suitability for engine conditions.

What should a temperature-sensitive joint inquiry include?

Describe the component and joint materials, fastener operating conditions, thermal cycles, vibration, installation method and service requirements. The high-temperature fastener overview explains why material, thread design and surface treatment need to be reviewed together. It does not replace a part-specific engineering decision.

Prepare for an application discussion

Provide the component function, available drawing, mating parts, material requirements and expected volume. Separate the environmental requirements from any proposed fastener material or coating so that the complete joint can be discussed.
