5 Reasons to Use Permanent Assembly Processes

You may be missing significant advantages if you are using a temporary method in place of a permanent assembly when your parts do not require disassembly.

Why would you want to assemble your application permanently? 

Do you make a product that is put together with fasteners? 

• Screws
• Cotter Pins
• Retaining Rings
• Nuts and Bolts
• Studs and Nuts

These 5 points are significant reasons to consider permanent assembly.

Personal Safety:  The product is inherently unsafe to repair or replace.

Operational Safety:  High liability if the product fails during operation.

Extreme Operating Forces:  High shock, vibration, push-pull, and shear.

Regulatory Requirements:  Part must be new and not repaired, as required by law or warranty.

Modular Assemblies:  A product contains permanently assembled components.
