Threaded Rod

Custom Threaded Rod & Threaded Bar

Pattern Fasteners manufactures custom threaded rod and threaded bar for engineering, machinery and industrial applications.

Threaded rod, sometimes also referred to as threaded bar, studding or all-thread, is a continuously threaded fastener used where long thread engagement, adjustable fixing positions or non-standard lengths are required.

We can manufacture threaded rod to customer drawings, specifications and individual requirements, including unusual diameters, thread pitches, materials, lengths and end features.

Custom & Non-Standard Threaded Rod

Standard threaded rod is widely available in common diameters and materials, but many engineering applications require something more specialised.

Pattern Fasteners can manufacture threaded rod with:

• Non-standard diameters

• Custom overall lengths

• Metric and imperial thread forms

• Fine and coarse thread pitches

• Different thread forms at each end

• Plain sections

• Stepped diameters

• Reduced sections

• Machined ends

• Cross holes

• Flats

• Chamfers

• Special points and end features

This allows the threaded component to be designed specifically around the assembly rather than relying on a standard stock length.

Threaded Rod Made to Length

Threaded rod can be manufactured or supplied to specific finished lengths to suit the application.

This can help reduce:

• On-site cutting

• Additional machining

• Material waste

• Assembly time

Finished components can also incorporate customer-specific end details or additional machining where required.

Thread Forms

Pattern Fasteners can produce threaded rod with a wide range of thread forms, including:

• Metric coarse

• Metric fine

• UNC

• UNF

• BSW

• BSF

• Other specified engineering threads

Where required, special pitches or thread combinations can also be considered.

Threaded Rod Materials

Threaded rod can be manufactured in a wide variety of engineering materials depending on the strength, corrosion resistance and operating conditions of the application.

Materials can include:

• Carbon steel

• Alloy steel

• Stainless steel

• Aluminium

• Brass

• Copper and copper alloys

• Nickel alloys

• Specialist engineering materials

The correct material will depend on factors such as mechanical loading, corrosion exposure, temperature and compatibility with the surrounding assembly.

Stainless Steel Threaded Rod

Stainless steel threaded rod is commonly used where corrosion resistance and long-term durability are important.

It can be manufactured in a range of stainless steel grades to suit industrial, outdoor and specialist engineering environments.

High-Strength Threaded Rod

For applications involving higher loads, threaded rod can be manufactured from suitable alloy steels or other specified high-strength materials.

Where tensile strength, material grade, heat treatment or mechanical properties are critical, these requirements should be defined as part of the component specification.

Threaded Rod for Engineering Applications

Threaded rod is used across a wide variety of engineering and industrial applications, including:

• Machinery and equipment

• Clamping systems

• Structural assemblies

• Jigs and fixtures

• Automotive applications

• Construction products

• Maintenance and repair

• Fabricated assemblies

• Specialist engineering equipment

Depending on the application, the threaded rod may be used as a permanent fixing, adjustable fastener, tie element or part of a more complex assembly.

Threaded Rod Made to Drawing

Where a standard threaded rod is unsuitable, Pattern Fasteners can manufacture directly from an engineering drawing, dimensional specification or physical sample.

This is particularly useful for:

• Non-standard machinery

• Replacement components

• Obsolete equipment

• Prototype assemblies

• Special production equipment

• Customer-specific fastening systems

Additional machining can be incorporated into the same component where required.
