“Fasteners” is a general term used for components that hold things together, while “Springs” are components that have memory. However, for years springs; such as compression springs, extension springs, torsion springs, flat springs and mechanical spring assemblies are categorized by many companies as a fastener-type item. Another general term used is simply “hardware.”
Companies that use a large amount of springs, and a wide variety will have fastener companies management their spring inventory for them along with other hardware-type items. The strategy to outsource components can potentially save companies large amounts of money in terms of inventory and processing purchase orders.
The choice to buy direct from a spring manufacturer or go through a fastener distributor is a case by case decision for companies that is typically decided by thorough financial analysis.
One of the largest fastener shows occurs in Las Vegas annually and is called the “National Fastener & Mill Supply Expo.” Companies interested in learning more about fasteners, springs, and other components like these should make plans to attend this show, which is held in the fall.
