why do we consider a right screw size?

  • The loads need to bear

The most obvious things you should consider in terms of a right screw size is the load that it will bear. When producing an item that will need to bear huge loads or which will be exposed to great forces, you will definitely need to get bolts and nuts that will be up to the task. You need to figure out how much force will be transmitted to each of the screws, and then get ones that are in a size that can accommodate this.

  • The change of loads

It’s important to get a right screw size that will withstand any changes in loads. If the force transmitted to the screw is likely to significantly change over the life of the item you are assembling, you might need to use larger screws for it.

  • The Oscillatingjoints

When using a screw on an oscillating joint, you should know how much force the screw will take. The fact that the joint is oscillating means that you might need to get screws or bolts with ten times capacity for safety. This way, the joint is likely to last very long with minimal need for frequent maintenance.

In conclusion, choosing the right screw size should take much of care. It is advisable for you to consider all the above so that you could ensure the quality of the products you made.
