80/20: Double Anchor Fastener Overview

Hello, and welcome to 80/20's product highlight series. Today we're going to take a look at the double anchor fastener. What makes the double anchor fastener so popular is its unmatched strength. It's available in fractional, metric, and is compatible across a wide range of profile series.

The double anchor fastener comes in five parts; you have two cams, two bolts, and a double T-nut. Now one thing you'll want to keep in mind when using the double anchor fastener; you'll need a counterbore service in two sides of your bar. More information on the counterbore service can be found in the 80/20 product catalog.

Now when it comes to installing the double anchor fastener, you're going to start with your bolts. Take your bolts, put them into your cams. At that point, you're going to take your bar with the counterbore machined into it, and place the cams into the counterbores. Next, grab your double T-nut. Place it on the end of the bolts, take your wrench and slightly engage the T-nuts into the threads. At that point we are ready for our other bar. We're going to slide the double anchor fastener into the bar, and find our desired location. At that point, take your T-wrench, and tighten down firmly.

Now the great thing about the double anchor fastener is its adjustability. If you need a new location on the bar, simply loosen up the double anchor fastener, and slide it anywhere along the bar. Once you found your new location, tighten down, and you're good to go. At this point, we have a strong, secure, vibration-proof connection, good for any load-bearing application.

I'm curious as to how it is "Vibration-proof"? What is keeping the bolt from loosening over time?

If im ordering cutom.cut peice and I want to put a double anchor nut like in this video and go to custom machining I'm getting a little confused on how to order the counterbore cuts on the same side of the bar. Do I choose Left B and D?
