Frequently Asked Questions About Engineered Fastening Systems
Common questions about our global sourcing and manufacturing capabilities.
What are engineered fastening systems?
Engineered fastening systems are custom-designed fastening solutions optimized for specific applications, materials, and operating environments. Unlike standard off-the-shelf fasteners, engineered systems consider load requirements, material compatibility, installation methods, environmental conditions, and lifecycle performance to deliver superior results.
How can engineered fasteners reduce my total cost of ownership (TCO)?
Properly engineered fastening systems reduce TCO through improved assembly efficiency, optimized material selection that extends component life, fewer warranty claims, reduced inventory carrying costs through vendor-managed programs, and elimination of over-engineered solutions. Our value engineering approach typically delivers 15-30% TCO reduction.
What industries does Perlane serve?
Perlane serves diverse OEM manufacturing sectors including aerospace and aviation, automotive and electric vehicles, defense and military, heavy equipment and construction machinery, industrial automation, marine and shipbuilding, rail and bridge infrastructure, telecommunications, oil and gas, renewable energy, HVAC, medical equipment, and general manufacturing.
Do you provide design assistance for custom fastening applications?
Yes, design-assist engineering is core to our service model. Our engineering team collaborates with your designers from initial concept through production to ensure optimal fastener selection, proper installation methods, and long-term performance. We provide application testing, CAD modeling, and ongoing technical support.
What certifications does Perlane hold?
Perlane maintains ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification, AS9120B aerospace distribution certification, FAA AC 00-56B counterfeit parts prevention accreditation, ITAR registration for defense applications, and JCP certification for aerospace distribution.
Can you source custom fasteners to our specifications?
Yes, through our extensive network of strategic manufacturing partners we can source custom fasteners and components to your exact specifications. From initial prototype samples to full production runs, we coordinate custom fastener programs with full material traceability and quality documentation.
How does Perlane extend component shelf life?
