Metric Fasteners

Usages for Metric Fasteners

Metric fasteners are used in automotive manufacturing and repair, CNC and production machinery, industrial robots and automation equipment, consumer electronics and appliances, HVAC and refrigeration equipment, and European-standard or globally-sourced OEM products. Property class markings on metric fasteners identify their strength level: Class 8.8 is the metric equivalent of SAE Grade 5; Class 10.9 approximates Grade 8; Class 12.9 provides the highest strength for critical applications.

Metric Fasteners for all Industries

Metric fasteners serve automotive manufacturing and aftermarket, machine building and OEM production, electronics and consumer product manufacturing, medical device production, and aerospace and defense sectors with metric-standard designs. North American manufacturers incorporating metric-specification fasteners in globally-distributed products rely on Blue Ribbon Fastener to maintain consistent inventory in the classes, sizes, and product types needed to keep production running without sourcing disruptions.
