What is a standard part?
Standard parts, operating elements and machine elements are parts/elements used in the fields of electronics, machine building and engineering. These small parts are produced according to a defined national or international standard.
Advantages of standard parts
The use of standard parts do more than simplify the work of the designer. The entire process chain from design to order processing and procurement all the way to use in machine building is simplified and, above all, expedited by standard parts. After all, speed plays an important role in the process of building machines. Standard parts are defined by standardization committees to be generally usable and exchangeable.
