Ajax fasteners tools

McPhersons ended their year ownership of Ajax in the early 90s when they sold their shares to National Consolidated, which was also a major shareholder at the time. In , Ajax Fasteners moved to new purpose-built premises in Braeside, Victoria. Soon after, National Consolidated was taken over by the diversified manufacturer Austrim. The group soon acquired the iconic Nylex, and adopted the name Nylex Corporation. Today AJAX, exports globally.

This includes the only M33 boltmaker in Australia. Supplementing this capability is a battery of small cold heading machines that turn out bolts and screws from M2. This provides the broadest cold forging capability of any fastener manufacturer in Australia. Other in-house processes, such as heat treatment, surface finishing, material preparation and wire drawing, all complement the forging machines to provide integrated manufacturing processes.

This means that AJAX closely controls all processes to ensure the quality of the finished part, meets our customers stringent and expected quality. Forgot your password? Click Here.

Table 3 lists the three thread class combinations Exception is made for galvanized fasteners where an which apply to the majority of commercial applications. Nut Normal 1B 7H The clearance permits rapid assembly without excessive play.

An exceptionally high grade threaded Bolt Close 3A 4h product, recommended only for Nut Medium 3B 5H applications where a close snug fit is essential. See note. Note: These higher classes do not make any allowance for fit i. The Tensile Stress Area is strength, proof stress, 0. Tensile section proportional test pieces.

While these Stress Areas for common sizes and thread forms properties and testing methods can be applied to will be found in Tables It is required that the bolt shall not have Australia, American Society for Testing and permanently extended.

This test provides a guide to the The bolt is screwed into a tapped attachment load to which the bolt will behave elastically. Figure 7 with six full threads exposed between 2 Wedge Tensile Test. The bolt head is initially supported on a The bolt is assembled as described previously but parallel collar for the proof load test, and a with the head supported on a tapered wedge tapered or wedge collar for the second stage when collar.

The angle of the wedge is varied for bolt it is broken in tension. The bolt head must, therefore, be capable of conforming with the torque , a mating bolt of the same strength class up required wedge taper angle without fracturing at to its actual not specification minimum yield its junction with the shank.

This latter requirement stress without the assembly failing by thread provides a very practical test for ductility. This is performed on a The nut is assembled on a hardened, threaded cross section through the bolt thread at a distance mandrel Figure 8 and the proof load applied in an of 1 x diameter from the end.

Not available from stock. Stress Area is adopted for strength calculated on the basis of the material strength and calculations in I. Sizes not covered in standard. Data above is given for information only. Tabulated values are for failure. Refer to applicable Code for permissible Design Stress.

Table 16 gives guidance for AS and AS values 2. The values shown are for a single shear plane and may be compounded for multiple shear planes. AS states that this should be considered when more than 5 bolts are aligned in the direction of the force.

Based on nominal diameter of shank. Reference AS This ratio was established on tension loaded lap joints. For overload protection application, check that both maximum and minimum are suitable. Maximum equals minimum Table 15 value times ratio 3. Maximum shear stress at failure is based on imputed maximum tensile strength, estimated from specified maximum hardness.

Reference SAE J Maximum Permissible Shear Stress in design is the lesser of. With Load Factors of 1. Other load factors apply for other actions eg. For mild steel bolts the relevant criterion see Note 4 above is generally. AS does not specify Fyf so the values shown are from Ajax Fasteners data. On the basis of Note 1, the value here would be They previously used the 30 year mean return wind and had some towers blow down.

Factoring the specification minimum shear stress would give a value of MPa. Fewer bolts a Joints carrying direct tensile loads can be used to carry the same total load, giving rise to savings not only from the cost of a smaller See Fig. Types 1 and 2. The course threads provide 1 Safety Factor. Apply a safety factor adequate strength and great advantages in according to the nature of the loading. Except in assembly over fine threads. The former are less the case of the flexible gasket joint, the safety liable to become cross threaded, start more factor on a bolt differs from most other easily, particularly in awkward positions, and applications in that it does not affect the stress require less time to tighten.

Providing bolts are the joint exceeds the design load applied. Steady Stress 1. Ensure gradually applied 2 — 3. By doing this, secondary and applied load L. This information is provided for guidance only. These 0. Bolted joints carrying loads in shear fall properties of the material in the bolted members into two types:— to ensure they are capable of withstanding bearing 1. Joints in which the load is transferred through loads.

Tensile strength and yield stress of Ajax bolts the bolted members by bearing of the member can be obtained from Tables Care must be on the shank of the bolt and shear in the bolt. Friction type joints, where the load is to ensure that the bolted members are not transferred by the friction developed between weakened by the bolt holes to the extent that they the members by the clamping action of cannot safely carry the load.

To achieve this it may the bolts. Load Transfer by Bearing and Shear. Staggering of bolt holes can minimise reduction of Such joints may be designed using allowable values member capacity.

If more than two members are for shear in the bolts and bearing on the joint bolted together slightly higher values are members such as those given under the limit states permitted in bearing on the central member, and provisions of AS Guidance on bolt shear the area considered for calculating strength in capacity is given on page The lowest shear is increased by two or four times for bolts in strength, whether it be in shear or bearing, is used double or quadruple shear. Refer to Australian before detection.

Standard The following general rules should be observed to minimise possibility of fatigue failure of bolts Flexible Gasket Joints for Sealing under high alternating or fluctuating stresses.

This type of joint differs from the two preceding Tighten bolt effectively to ensure an induced types in that the stress in the bolt varies with the tension or preload in excess of the maximum working load. This is because the flexible gasket external load.

The resulting effect is that the length under the nut. In the case of a flexible gasket type of joint the design Number of Bolts. Metal to Metal Pressure Tight Joints In this case the bolts can only be tightened to a The stress in the bolts in a flexible gasket type joint preload well below the yield stress so the torque varies with load, and under rapidly fluctuating figure T for the bolt size and material selected loads they can be subject to fatigue.

It is therefore listed in Tables must be reduced by desirable to use. Wherever possible, metal to metal multiplying by a factor of 0. Tightening torque to be applied to bolts of a The design procedure for a metal to metal pressure flexible gasket type of joint.
