What Are The Types Of Bolts?

Bolts come in various types and configurations, each designed for specific applications and requirements. As a professional fastener supplier, Xinchi Fastener Company is glad to share some common types of bolts.

Hex Bolts: Also known as hexagon bolts or cap screws, these bolts have a hexagonal head and are driven using a wrench or socket. They are widely used in various applications and come in different grades and materials.

Carriage Bolts: These bolts have a domed or rounded head with a square section directly beneath it. Carriage bolts are often used in wood-to-metal or wood-to-wood connections, as the square section prevents them from turning while being tightened.

Eye Bolts: Eye bolts have a looped head that forms an eye, making them suitable for attaching ropes, cables, or other connectors.

Flange Bolts: Flange bolts have a wide flange under the head that distributes pressure and prevents pull-through. They are commonly used in automotive and construction applications.

T-Head Bolts: These bolts have a T-shaped head, which makes them suitable for applications where the bolt needs to sit flush with the surface.

U-Bolts: U-bolts have a U-shape and are threaded at both ends. They are commonly used to attach pipes or other objects to surfaces.

J-Bolts: J-bolts have a J-shaped head and are used for anchoring structures or objects to concrete or masonry surfaces.

Stud Bolts: Stud bolts are threaded rods with threads on both ends. They are often used in flange connections for easy assembly and disassembly.

Shoulder Bolts: Shoulder bolts have a cylindrical shoulder between the head and the threaded portion. They are used when precise spacing and alignment are required.

Anchor Bolts: Anchor bolts are designed to anchor structures to concrete or masonry. They come in various shapes and sizes to meet specific anchoring needs.

Plow Bolts: Plow bolts have a flat, countersunk head and are often used in heavy equipment, agricultural machinery, and snowplows.

Lag Bolts: Lag bolts, also known as lag screws, have a hexagonal head and a pointed tip. They are used for heavy-duty fastening in wood or wood-to-metal applications.

These are just a few examples of the many types of bolts available. Each type serves a particular purpose, and selecting the right bolt for your application depends on factors such as material, size, strength, and intended use.
