There are so many kinds of bolts, but Fasteners, Inc. can help you get to know your bolts and their many uses. Basically, a bolt is a small metal rod with threads and a head, and it uses a nut fastener<\/a> with a threaded hole to assemble two unthreaded components.<\/p>\n

It may seem simple, but there are many kinds of bolts<\/a> for a variety of applications. According to a Mechanical Buzz article, here are some bolts and their uses.<\/p>\n

Glue-In Bolt<\/p>\n

A glue-in bolt has superior strength and is the longest lasting. It can be used for soft and hard rocks where stress corrosion cracking is a concern. If the hole is bigger than the bolt some glue can be placed along the hole to give a tighter grip on the bolt. If you glue it, once the bolt is in place it cannot be removed.<\/p>\n

Sleeve Bolt<\/p>\n

A sleeve bolt is a stainless steel five-piece powers bolt. It comes in \u215c inch and \u00bd inch diameters. This plated steel bolt can be easily replaced. It has a hex bolt head and the longer bolt has two sleeves but is still called a five-piece bolt. It has more strength than a wedge bolt.<\/p>\n

Petzl Long Life Bolt<\/p>\n

A Petzl long-life stainless-steel bolt is a \u00bd inch in diameter and 2 inches in length. It has a steel pin set in the shaft. It is a strong bolt and lasts long but is not safe in medium to soft rock.<\/p>\n

Wedge Bolts<\/p>\n

A wedge bolt is a power stud stainless steel bolt or a non-stainless steel double sleeve stud bolt. It has a threaded shaft and nut with a small clip at the top which holds the nut and shaft tight. It comes in \u215c inch and \u00bd inch diameters. A wedge bolt is weaker than the sleeve bolt and can make more errors as they deform.<\/p>\n

Sheath Bolt<\/p>\n

There are two types of sheath bolts. The Star Dryvin bolt has a star printed on it. The Taper Bolt has a stud sticking through it and hex head with no threads.<\/p>\n

Compression Bolt<\/p>\n

A compression bolt is called a button head because the tail end of the bolt resembles a button. It is 1 \u00bc inches to 2 inches long and a 1\/4 inch in diameter. It has split shafts to hold the hole when it\u2019s hammered. It has a force fit. Hammering it makes the split shafts come together at the place of contact with the holes to get a strong grip.<\/p>\n

Self-Drill Bolt<\/p>\n

Not used much anymore, a self-drill bolt has a large machine bolt head. It acts like a drill bit which is pretty handy.<\/p>\n

Torque Bolts, Aluminum Dowel Bolts, and Zamac Nailin Bolts<\/p>\n

While once common, this group of fasteners are not typically in use anymore.<\/p>\n
