Top Access Hardware, Fasteners, Sealants, and Adhesives for the Agricultural Industry
Selecting the right fasteners, access hardware, sealants/adhesives, and more is critical in the agricultural industry for safety and long-term quality assurance. Parts used to manufacture and repair capital investment equipment for the ag industry must be able to withstand demanding conditions like extreme force and weather.
Durable hardware solutions play a vital role in contributing to high productivity, low maintenance costs, and uncompromised safety for operators and livestock. Our hardware helps maintain the integrity and functionality of farm machinery, forestry, lawn and garden equipment, tractors, tractor cabs, and more.
Explore Top-Quality Fasteners for the Agricultural Industry
Fasteners hold together the components of machinery and structures, ensuring they remain intact and functional. This is especially critical for the safety and longevity of agriculture equipment that bears extra heavy loads and is constantly exposed to the elements. This is why fasteners holding machinery parts together on equipment like tractors, harvesters, and irrigation systems must be reliable and of the highest quality.
A wide variety of fastener types are available for the manufacture or repair of agricultural industry equipment. Only high-quality fasteners should be selected in order to keep up with the high usage of a standard day in agriculture. Additionally, look out for fasteners made with materials that resist corrosion and contamination and can withstand harsh conditions to avoid unnecessary wear and jeopardizing worker safety.
Bolts and Nuts
Many in the agricultural industry rely on nuts and bolts for assembly and maintenance of machinery, and that these key parts must be made to withstand harsh conditions including massive loads, dirt, and heavy use. Some key applications include holding together heavy-duty machinery like tractors, harvesters, and balers or holding attachments like plows, tillers, and planters.
Flange Screws and Locknuts
Flange screws and locknuts are used in agriculture applications to secure components of machines and equipment together. Flange screws have a projected rim that helps distribute the pressure where the screw meets the surface and often used in large, enclosed areas. Like a standard nut, locknuts are screwed onto a bolt or threaded rod, but engineered to resist loosening under shock, vibration and impact thanks to its locking mechanism.
Huck Fasteners
Huck specializes in fastener solutions that are specifically designed to cope with extreme stress and vibration. These include Huck Magna-Bulbs, Magna-Loks, and extra strong bolt pins and collars. Huck’s high-quality fasteners provide strength and facilitate the construction of lighter, stronger, and more durable structures.
Inserts and Insert Tools
Commonly known as rivet nuts or blind threaded rivets, threaded inserts are used for most applications where strong threads are required for blind applications. When assembling agricultural machinery, these are used to attach guards, panels, and components to metal frames. This includes machines like tractors, combines, hay balers, and other agricultural vehicles.
Rivets
These are permanent fasteners that bend into position after joining two or more pieces of material together and important feature in the design of tractors, combine harvesters, loaders and more. There are many different types, including blind rivets, flush rivets, self-piercing rivets, closed end rivets, and plastic rivets.
