What Are The Types Of Bolts?

There are various types of bolts, each designed for specific applications and requirements. As a professional fastener supplier, Xinchi Fastener Company is glad to introduce some common types of bolts.

Hex Bolts: Standard six-sided bolts with a hexagonal head.

Carriage Bolts: Bolts with a smooth, rounded head and a square neck, designed to be tightened from one side.

Anchor Bolts: Bolts are used to attach objects or structures to concrete. They often have an L-shaped or J-shaped end for embedding into the concrete.

Eye Bolts: Bolts with a looped head, used to attach cables or other fasteners.

U-Bolts: Bolts shaped like the letter “U” with threads on both ends, used for clamping pipes or other round objects.

Toggle Bolts: Bolts with a spring-loaded wing nut that opens up behind the material, providing stability when used in hollow walls.

Tension Control Bolts: Bolts with a specialized design to ensure proper tension during installation.

Flange Bolts: Bolts with a flange under the head, eliminating the need for a washer.

Plow Bolts: Bolts with a flat, countersunk head used in heavy equipment like plows.

Elevator Bolts: Bolts with a flat, countersunk head and a square neck, commonly used in conveyor systems.

Stud Bolts: Bolts with threads on both ends, without a head. They are often used with nuts on both ends.

Square Head Bolts: Bolts with a square-shaped head, often used in applications where wrench access is limited.

Tee Head Bolts: Bolts with a T-shaped head, used in applications where a flush surface is desired.

J-Bolts: Bolts shaped like the letter “J,” commonly used for hanging pipes or other applications.

Shoulder Bolts: Bolts with a cylindrical, unthreaded shoulder between the head and the threads.

Hanger Bolts: Bolts with threads on both ends, with one end designed for wood and the other for metal.

Step Bolts: Bolts with a gradual increase in diameter along the shank.

Hex Flange Bolts: Similar to hex bolts but with a flange under the head, eliminating the need for a separate washer.

Socket Cap Bolts: Bolts with a cylindrical head and an internal hex drive.

Square Neck Bolts: Similar to carriage bolts but with a square neck and a rounded head.

These are just a few examples, and there are many more specialized types of bolts designed for specific applications and industries. The choice of bolt depends on factors such as the application, material, load requirements, and environmental conditions.
