Fastener, Pneumatically-Driven

Definition

A Pneumatically-Driven Fastener is a driven pin or threaded stud that is inserted into material using compressed air.

Purpose

The purpose of a Pneumatically-Driven Fastener is to provide a quick, efficient, and powerful means of securing materials, commonly used in construction and manufacturing to increase productivity and ensure strong, durable connections.

Examples of Use

• Framing: Using pneumatically-driven nails to assemble wood frames in building construction.
• Roofing: Attaching roofing materials with pneumatic nailers for speed and consistency.
• Automotive Assembly: Securing parts and components in vehicle manufacturing using pneumatic tools.

Related Terms

• Pneumatic Tool: A tool powered by compressed air, often used for driving fasteners.
• Nail Gun: A pneumatic tool designed to drive nails into materials quickly and efficiently.
• Air Compressor: A device that generates compressed air to power pneumatic tools.

Notes

• Pneumatically-driven fasteners require an air compressor and appropriate pneumatic tools for operation.
• Safety precautions should be followed when using pneumatic tools to prevent accidents and injuries.
