Threaded Rods
Threaded rods are fastening rods threaded along their length. Thread direction for threaded rods are important specifications to consider. Thread directions include right hand, left hand, or both right hand and left hand. Right hand threads are designed so that clockwise rotation tightens the threaded rod to a fastener. Left hand threads, while less common, are better suited for applications in which motor vibration would cause threads to become loose. Dual thread style is used for specialty assemblies.
Threaded rods can be made of aluminum, brass, bronze, silicon bronze, copper, and proprietary alloys such as Inconel and Incoloy. Other types of steel include carbon steel, alloy steel, and hardened steel. Titanium is strong, lightweight, and suitable for a variety of aerospace and medical applications. When alloyed with steel, titanium adds strength and oxidation resistance to threaded rods.
Metallic threaded rod can be anodized, treated with black oxide, chrome galvanized, phosphate coated, or plated with silver, gold, tin, zinc, or zinc chromate. We offer stainless steel threaded rods and hot dipped galvanized threaded rods. Non-metallic threaded rod can be made of plastic, fiber-reinforced plastic, nylon, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), or synthetic rubber.
