Birmingham Fastener is a manufacturer and distributor of fasteners for structural steel fabrication, metal building manufacturers, OEMs, the transportation and utilities sectors, and others. The company recently launched a new locking bolt with a proprietary washer.

The M12 x 1.75 Vibration-control Locking Bolt (VC Lock) offers superior strength with an excellent co-efficient of friction. Designed for rugged applications, the VC Lock assembly can withstand the Junker vibration test per ISO 16130, retaining more than 75% of the compression load.

Features:

• One-sided installation with socket
• Loads between 12,000 – 14,000 lbs.
• 1,000-plus salt-spray test
• Newly designed “Geokote,” which is a zinc-flake coating for improved axial force and corrosion resistance

Birmingham Fastener is also one of the world’s largest manufacturers of T-head bolts, operating one of the highest volume distribution center of nuts and bolts, as well as standard (and custom) fasteners in the U.S. Learn more about the company’s products here.
