Special and custom fastener service

In-house production in Hagen with forge, toolmaking, CNC machining, thread rolling, nut machining and materials laboratory: that is the advantage when sourcing your special and custom fasteners, from steel to certificate, all from a single source.

As specialists in special and custom fasteners as well as special parts and parts to drawing, we advise you on material, thread, property class and testing, and choose the right production route for your individual case; the steps are shown on our Production page.

Special and custom fasteners from RS Randack are in service worldwide in plant engineering, chemicals and petrochemicals, energy and power plant engineering, shipbuilding and marine, rail, mining, aerospace, power transmission and mechanical engineering: industries and applications.

Quality assurance for our special fasteners

Quality assurance measures accompany your special and custom fasteners from enquiry to delivery.

Manufacturability analyses and technical reviews against the specified order drawings, DIN standards and specifications identify potential sources of error at an early stage.

Every special fastener passes through our quality assurance checks: first article inspection under the four-eyes principle, hardness testing per batch, thread inspection with gauges and thread micrometer, final inspection before shipping, all with traceability back to the heat.

Destructive and non-destructive product tests are carried out and certified by our own test personnel and by independent, accredited materials testing laboratories.

Frequently asked questions

Questions and answers on special and custom fasteners

What is the difference between special fasteners and standard fasteners?

Standard fasteners follow a standard in shape, material and property class and are bought from a catalogue. Special fasteners differ in at least one respect: dimensions, head shape, material, property class, thread, testing or certificate. RS Randack manufactures them to your drawing, even as one-offs.

What information does RS Randack need for a quotation?

Drawing or standard, material and property class, quantity, certificate type, third-party inspection body (if required), coating and delivery date.

Does RS Randack supply fasteners with a 3.2 inspection certificate?

Yes. Third-party inspections by all common inspection bodies and classification societies take place regularly in our own materials laboratory in Hagen; certificates 2.1, 2.2, 3.1 and 3.2 to EN 10204.
