1 Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Fasteners

2 Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Fasteners At the end of this lesson, you will be able to: Describe the difference between a bolt and a screw Describe the properties of a nut and bolt Identify various types of screws, bolts, nuts, washers and tell what they are used for Identify the drives used for torquing the heads of screws and bolts Identify standard thread pitch sizes and describe their benefits Explain how fasteners work

3 Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Machine screws A screw is an externally threaded fastener. They are designed to be put into a mating threaded hole or form its own thread. Machine screw

4 Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Bolts A bolt is an externally threaded fastener designed to be held by a nut after it has gone through a hole. Nut Bolt

5 Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Identification of bolts and screws

6 Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Identification by pitch Identification by pitch, or threads per inch: –The picture shows a bolt and the tool used to measure the bolt’s pitch. –A coarse thread (low number of threads per inch) has more clamping power and is faster to torque down, but can’t be adjusted as finely. –A fine thread (high number of threads per inch) can be more finely adjusted, but has less clamping power, and is slower to torque down.

7 Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Identification by length One way to identify a screw/bolt is by its length. Pictured above is a dial caliper being used to measure the length of a bolt.

8 Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Identification by head type Common head types are pictured above.

9 Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Head types Allen head screw - Allen head screws have more torquing power and are recessed into a counter bored hole. Flathead screw - Flat head screws have tapers that guide

10 Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Head types Pan head screw - Pan head screws have a small flat with a round top that can be slightly recessed into a counter bored hole. Button head screw - Button head screws are round at the top so that they do not catch on anything.

14 Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Hex head screw - Hex head screws can take a lot of torque and can be driven in and out with a socket type wrench. Set screws - Set screws are case-hardened and used to fasten pulleys and collars on shafts. Head types

15 Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Vex Threaded Screw and Collar The kit comes with 16 threaded screws and collars

16 Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Socket head drives and screw head drives Drives are the slots, grooves, and holes on the bolt and screw heads that allow torque to be applied.

17 Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Socket head drives Socket head drives can take a large amount of torque. They have an internal hex shape. They can be driven by a socket wrench, or by an Allen wrench. Hex drives have an external hex shape and can also take a large amount of torque. They can be driven by a socket wrench.

18 Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Screw head drives 1 Phillips drive - A Phillips drive is used to insert the screw. A Phillips drive is easier to locate than a standard drive. Slotted - A plane flathead screw driver is used to insert the screw. This is one of the most common types of drives.

19 Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Screw head drives 2 Phillips/slotted - This versatile drive allows you to use either a Phillips or a slotted drive.

20 Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Nuts

21 Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Nylon insert lock nuts Nylon insert lock nut - or a self locking nut eliminates the need for washers Vex starter kits comes with 14

22 Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Keps Nuts Keps Lock Nuts - these nuts have greater holding power and reduce assembly time. The Vex starter kit comes with 65 keps nuts

23 Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Coupling Nuts/Standoffs Coupling nuts or Standoffs - these nuts are used to provide clearance between parts. The Vex starter kit comes with: –10 ½ inch –8 1 inch –4 2 inch –4 3 inch

24 Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Weld nuts Weld nuts - these are a specialty type to attach parts to a frame

25 Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Wing nuts Wing nuts have two thin flat wings and are used where a nut has to be turned with the thumb and forefinger

26 Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. Washers Flat washers provide increased bearing surface for bolt heads and nuts and distribute the load over a larger area. Lock washers prevent a bolt or nut from becoming loose under vibration.
