Fastener Fundamentals for Reliability Engineering
Boost your team's operational reliability and technical skillset with Fedor House LLC’s Fastener Fundamentals Kit — a hands-on, engineering-based training solution built for AM Step 4 Operator Training. Whether you're building a culture of ownership or preventing costly equipment breakdowns, this kit gives your operators the knowledge and tactile understanding they need to succeed.
From proper torque application to fastener identification and failure prevention, this comprehensive kit goes beyond theory—empowering operators with real-world logic, expert visuals, and guided hands-on practice.
What You’ll Learn:
How to Torque Like a Pro
Master the use of torque wrenches and hand tools to apply correct preload and prevent loosening or fatigue failure.Fastener Types & Their Functions
Differentiate machine screws, wood screws, self-tapping screws, socket heads, and hex bolts—and learn when to use each.Washer Wisdom
Understand how washers distribute load, prevent embedment, and reduce wear that can lead to premature failure.Engineering Logic Behind Failures
Learn how poor selection, under/over-torquing, or incorrect driver use leads to fatigue, vibration issues, or sheared fasteners.
Training Focus
Operators will:
Practice torquing bolts to spec
Identify common fastener types and configurations
Demonstrate the real consequences of incorrect torque or component selection
