Fastening Solutions for Every Industry

A bolt is a mechanical fastener characterized by a threaded shaft. Typically, bolts are inserted through unthreaded holes in components, and a nut is screwed onto the threaded end to create a clamping force. This clamping force helps secure multiple parts together, preventing axial movement and contributing to the formation of a bolted joint.

Bolts come in various types, shapes, and sizes, and they are widely used in construction, machinery, and various other applications to join and fasten components securely.

The design of a bolt includes a head, often hexagonal, and a shaft with external threading. The specific type and characteristics of bolts can vary based on their intended use and the materials involved.

Socket Head Screws are a specific type of screw that contains a hexagonal recess in the screwhead, designed to fit an allen key. There are various head styles available and are common when limited spanner access would make it difficult to install a hex head bolt.

Threaded rods and stud bolts are widely used wherever a fastener of greater length and rigidity is needed to secure two items together. They are often found securing wood or metal items together or being used to give additional strength to structures supported by concrete and other materials.They are commonly used in professional construction work, repair and maintenance, production and processing, and various other demanding industrial applications.

Nuts are a type of hardware component that typically feature a hexagonal piece with a threaded hole. Nuts are used in conjunction with bolts and other threaded fasteners to secure two or more components together. The threaded hole in a nut allows it to be tightened onto the threaded shaft of a bolt, creating a secure and stable joint.

Washers used in conjunction with fastening systems form essential components of most parts. These miniature components, usually made from various materials, including carbon steel and stainless steel, operate as seals or spacers. They also function as liquid protectors and vibration absorbers.
