Adhesives specialist LOCTITE is holding a Medical and Wellness Symposium at its R&D Centre of Excellence in Dublin, recently awarded 'My Green Lab Green Certification'.

The electrical contact resistance between two fastener components is a key quality parameter, especially when the bolted joints carry electrical current. If the resistance is too high, heat is generated between the elements. In vehicles, for example, this can lead to malfunctions or even trigger fires. In response to this problem, Kistler is adding the OhmBox to its tried-and-tested ANALYSE friction coefficient test stand.

TR Fastenings has relaunched its patented EPW self-extruding thread-forming screw, engineered to significantly cut assembly time and cost.
