Fastener Calc

Bossard - Proven Productivity
 
Bossard calculators and converters are designed for engineers, technicians, designers and students involved in the development and assembly of bolted joint.
 
Calculators categories:
 
* Converters are used for converting different units of measure, such as lengths, hardnesses, pressures etc. The converters are divided into topic areas to enable the most efficient selection possible.
--- Length converter is used for converting more than 68 different units of measure, such as inch, centimetre, metre, mile, foot, yard etc.
--- Torque converter is used for converting different torques, such as newton metre, dyne metre, kilogram force metre, ounce force inch etc.
--- Pressure converter is used for converting different pressure units, such as bar, millibar, psi, pascal etc.
--- Force converter is used for converting different force units, such as newton, dyne, kilogram force, ounce force etc.
--- Metric - imperial units fasteners converter.
Converting between metric and inch fasteners forces you to make compromises.This converter gives you best proposals and will show you the differences in an easy way.
--- Hardnes converter.
Conversion of hardness-to-hardness or hardness-to-tensile-strength values for unalloyed and low-alloy steels and cast iron.
 
* Geometrical calculators are used for dimensioning and implementation in the joining technology.
--- Drill hole size for tapped threads.
Calculate the proper tap drill size for the most commonly used screws.
--- Pilot hole design for tapping screws.
Calculate core hole diameters for tapping screws (Based on DIN 7975:1989)
--- Pilot hole design for ecosyn®-Plast.
Calculate the boss geometry for various types of thermoplastics for ecosyn®-plast.
--- Tolerances for shafts and holes.
Find and calculate tolerances for holes and shafts. Based on standard tolerance classes and limit deviations from ISO 286-2:2010
 
* Mechanical calculators are used for dimensioning and designing in the joining technology.
--- Estimation of bolt size and property class.
Which dimension and strength should a bolt have for my application? Estimate the required diameter and property class. Based on VDI 2230:2014.
--- Disc spring calculator.
Calculate disc springs with geometry and properties according to DIN 2093. Calculations based on DIN 2092.
