Precision Straightness Control in Fasteners: How We Meet Your Custom Requirements & Save Costs
1. Defining Straightness: Why It Matters
Straightness is a critical geometric tolerance (per ISO 1101、ISO2768、GB1804-2000、UNI-EN-22768-mK、GB1184etc) that measures the deviation of a fastener’s axis from a perfect straight line.
You can check our website download sections to get this standard files.
Even minor deviations can cause:
l Assembly failures (e.g., misalignment in automotive chassis).
l Reduced fatigue life (e.g., in aerospace fasteners).
l Increased scrap/warranty costs.
2. Our Capabilities: Precision Tailored to Your Needs
At Kinsom Fasteners, we combine advanced processes and 20+ years of expertise to achieve:
Straightness Standard | Typical Tolerance (per 100mm) | Applicable Fasteners |
Commercial Grade | ≤0.3mm | General-purpose bolts |
Automotive Grade | ≤0.1mm | Engine/transmission bolts |
Aerospace Grade | ≤0.05mm | Critical structural pins |
Custom Ultra-Precision | As low as ≤0.02mm | Medical/optical devices |
Key Technologies:
Multi-stage cold forging: Minimizes internal stresses that cause warping.
In-line laser measurement: 100% real-time straightness inspection (data traceable to NIST).
Post-forming correction: Proprietary straightening presses for critical applications.
3. Cost-Saving Strategies Without Compromising Quality
We optimize straightness control while reducing your total cost through:
Material selection: Alloy grades matched to your load requirements (avoiding over-engineering).
Process design: Integrated straightening steps in production flow (eliminating secondary operations).
Data transparency: Provide SPC reports to help you approve tighter tolerances only where needed.
Case :
A European auto OEM reduced assembly line stoppages by 40% after switching to our ≤0.08mm straightness control for wheel hub bolts, achieving 15% cost savings versus traditional machining.
4. Partner With a Straightness Expert
Whether you need standard or fully custom specs, our engineers will:
Analyze your application’s functional requirements (not just "copy the drawing").
Propose the most cost-effective tolerance level.
Deliver full documentation (PPAP, CPK studies, material certs).
