Industrial Bolts Port Stephens

Industrial bolts are a type of fastener used to join two or more components together firmly and permanently. They’re a popular fastener type because they offer significant, long-lasting holding strength and durability. They’re also versatile and relatively easy to remove. Industrial bolts are used across a range of applications, including construction, civil, mining, manufacturing and mechanical. Available in numerous shapes and sizes, bolts are a suitable choice for all projects, no matter the type or scale.

A bolt is typically used to hold two or more components together and is designed to be tightened with a nut. A screw, on the other hand, is designed to be inserted into a pre-drilled hole and tightened by turning the head of the screw.

The correct size and length of industrial bolt for your application will depend on the specific requirements of your project. Factors to consider include the size and weight of the components being joined, the load that will be placed on the bolt, and the specific conditions of the environment in which the bolt will be used.

The proper installation of industrial bolts will depend on the specific type of bolt and the application in which it’s being used. In general, industrial bolts should be tightened to the manufacturer’s recommended torque specifications using a torque wrench.

Proper maintenance of industrial bolts includes regular inspections for signs of wear or damage and tightening or replacing bolts as necessary. It’s also important to protect industrial bolts from rust and corrosion by keeping them clean and dry, and by applying a protective coating or rust inhibitor as needed.

There are many different types of industrial bolts. At Select Fasteners, we stock anchor bolts, hex bolts, blind bolts, carriage bolts, eye bolts, flange bolts, cup head bolts and structural bolts.

Anchor bolts are a type of fastener used to secure objects to concrete or masonry. They are typically used to secure structures such as buildings, signs and equipment to a concrete foundation. They come in different designs such as L-shape, J-shape and U-shape.

Hex bolts are a type of fastener with a hexagonal head that can be tightened with a wrench. They are commonly used in construction and manufacturing and can be used to fasten a variety of materials.

Blind bolts are a type of fastener that can be inserted into a pre-drilled hole from one side and tightened from the other side, ideal in applications where the back side of the material being fastened is not accessible.

Carriage bolts are a type of fastener with a rounded head and a square shoulder. They are commonly used to fasten wood to wood or metal to wood, and in construction and woodworking applications.

Eye bolts are a type of fastener with a looped head that can be used to attach a rope or chain, used in lifting and rigging applications and as an anchor point for tie-downs or safety harnesses.

A flange bolt is a bolt with a built-in washer-like flange that distributes the clamping force over a larger area. These are best when the surface being fastened is thin or easily damaged.

Cup head bolts are a type of fastener with a rounded head and a countersunk bottom, used in applications where a smooth surface is desired (i.e., in automotive and aerospace industries).

A structural bolt is a heavy-duty bolt designed for use in structural applications. They can connect beams, joists and other structural components in construction and manufacturing.
