Discover why fastener quality is critical for industrial assemblies. Learn how poor-quality fasteners can cause assembly failures and how Horizon Inc ensures reliability.
Why Fastener Quality Matters: Avoiding Assembly Failures
In any industrial assembly — whether it’s a sheet metal enclosure, a PEB structure, or a control panel — the strength of the entire system relies on the quality of its smallest components. Fasteners may be tiny, but their role is enormous. At Horizon Inc, we’ve seen firsthand how using the wrong fasteners, or poor-quality ones, can lead to costly, sometimes dangerous failures.
In this post, we’ll explain why fastener quality matters and how it impacts your business operations.
📌 The Cost of Poor-Quality Fasteners
Using substandard fasteners may save a little money upfront, but it often leads to far greater losses in the long run. Here’s what can go wrong:
- Assembly Failures: Fasteners that break, strip, or loosen over time can cause critical assemblies to fail.
- Leakages in Outdoor Enclosures: Low-quality self-drilling screws with poor-grade washers can crack during installation, causing water ingress and equipment damage.
- Increased Downtime: Repeated maintenance and rework due to faulty fasteners interrupt your operations.
- Safety Hazards: Loose or failed fasteners in structural applications can endanger personnel and property.
- Damage to Brand Reputation: Product recalls and customer dissatisfaction damage trust and future business prospects.
📌 What Makes a Fastener High-Quality?
Not all fasteners are created equal. Here’s what defines a reliable industrial fastener:
- Material Consistency: Genuine grade steel or stainless steel as per specifications like ISO, DIN, or IFI.
- Accurate Dimensions: Precise head, thread, and drill point dimensions for correct fitment.
- Protective Coating: Rust-resistant coatings like zinc, Dacromet, or stainless finishes for longer service life.
- High-Quality EPDM Washers: In roofing screws, bonded EPDM washers prevent cracking and water seepage.
- Consistent Thread Strength: Threads that can handle the specified torque without stripping or shearing.
At Horizon Inc, every fastener we supply meets strict quality checks for these factors.
