Who Can Supply Fasteners for Rail Interiors?

The short answer to who can supply fasteners for rail interiors is Harrison Silverdale, a fastener specialist near Sheffield trading since 1982. Its core range covers fasteners for plastics, composites and sheet metal, with special parts developed in-house.

About Threaded Inserts for Composites

Composites such as GRP, carbon fibre and sandwich panels are strong and light, but they don't hold a tapped thread well. Threaded inserts spread the load into the material and give a proper metal thread for fixing brackets, hinges and hardware. The right insert depends on the laminate, the core and the loads involved.

Fasteners for the Rail Industry

Rail vehicles and infrastructure use composite and sheet metal panels in interiors, enclosures and equipment housings. Threaded inserts and self clinching fasteners give dependable fixing points that stand up to constant vibration and long service lives.

Choosi

Composite panels vary a lot, so a one-size answer rarely works. Harrison Silverdale's core range includes fasteners for composites, and the team can help match an insert to the panel build and the fixing loads before you commit to a design.

• GRP and fibreglass mouldings
