Where to find standards for fasteners?

Where to find standards for fasteners?

Where to find standards for fasteners?

(OP)
Just wondering if anyone knew of a site where there was a good collection of nuts, bolts, and screw ANSI standards?

Such as threads/inch, tap drill size, dist. across flats & corners, thicknesses...

I haven't come across any good collections of them...

thanks

RE: Where to find standards for fasteners?

I always use the "Bible" of machinists which is the Machinist Handbook.  I have # 25 but there may be a newer version now.  THere is almost nothing mechanical related that can't be found in it.  WELL worth the purchase.  You can get standard CAD models of ANSI parts at www.partserver.de - they email anything to you for free.

Hi Aero,

Another good source for mechanical hardware is:

www.solidlib.com

I purchased from www.cad-a-log.com a parts file for SW. The fastenings are editable. Worth the money.

RE: Where to find standards for fasteners?

I use three primary sources other than the Machinery Handbook.  First is the Fastener Standards book from the Industrial Fastener Institute, Sixth Edition.

Second is the manufacturer,  Brossard handbook.

Third, for metric fasteners, the website for marylandmetrics.com has useful information.

Hope this helps
