Component Specifications

Definition
Bolts and nuts are standardized threaded fasteners that create secure, adjustable, and removable connections in structural bracing systems. Bolts feature external threads that engage with the internal threads of nuts, generating clamping force through torque application to resist shear, tension, and vibration loads while maintaining alignment and structural integrity.
Working Principle
Mechanical fastening through threaded engagement creates clamping force when torque is applied to the nut or bolt head. This force compresses joined materials between the bolt head and nut, generating friction that resists relative movement while the threads provide mechanical interlocking against axial forces.
Materials
Carbon steel (Grade 4.6-12.9), alloy steel, stainless steel (A2/A4), titanium, brass, or specialized coatings (zinc, galvanized, Dacromet) for corrosion resistance.
Technical Parameters
  • Head Type Hex, socket, flange
  • Thread Type Metric (ISO), UNC/UNF
  • Thread Pitch Standard, fine
  • Strength Grade 4.6, 8.8, 10.9, 12.9
  • Surface Treatment Zinc-plated, hot-dip galvanized, phosphate
  • Torque Specification Based on diameter and grade
Standards
ISO 898, ISO 4014, ISO 4032, DIN 931, DIN 934, ASME B18.2.1

Frequently Asked Questions

What determines the strength grade of bolts?

The strength grade (e.g., 8.8, 10.9) indicates tensile strength and yield strength ratios. The first number represents 1/100 of the minimum tensile strength in MPa, while the second number indicates the yield strength ratio.

How is proper torque determined for bolt installation?

Torque is calculated based on bolt diameter, strength grade, material friction coefficients, and joint requirements using standardized formulas or manufacturer specifications to achieve optimal clamping force without over-tightening.

What maintenance is required for fasteners in bracing systems?

Regular inspection for corrosion, loosening, or deformation; periodic re-torquing if specified; replacement if wear exceeds tolerance; and lubrication if required by the application environment.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
