Do you know what are the classifications of insulating bolts?

Insulation bolts: mechanical parts, cylindrical threaded fasteners with nuts. A type of fastener consisting of a head and a screw (cylinder with an external thread), which needs to be matched with a nut to fasten and connect two parts with a through hole. This type of connection is called bolt connection. If the nut is unscrewed from the bolt, the two parts can be separated, so the bolt connection is a detachable connection.

Let’s take a look at the main categories of insulating bolts.

1. According to the connection force method

Ordinary and with reamed holes. Ordinary main load bearing axial force can also bear less demanding lateral force. The bolts used for reaming holes should be matched with the size of the holes and used when subjected to lateral forces.

2, according to the shape of the head

There are hexagonal head, round head, square head, countersunk head and so on. The hexagonal head is commonly used. Generally, the countersunk head is used where the surface after connection is required to be smooth and without protrusions, because the countersunk head can be screwed into the part. The round head can also be screwed into the part. The tightening force of the square head can be larger, but the size is large.

In addition, in order to meet the needs of locking after installation, there are holes on the head and holes on the rod. These holes can prevent the bolt from loosening when it is vibrated.

Some bolts are made to be thin without threaded polished rods, which are called thin-waist bolts. This kind of bolt is conducive to the connection under variable force.

Some high-strength bolts on steel structures have larger heads and different dimensions.

There are other special uses: for T-slot bolts, more used on machine tool fixtures, special shapes, and both sides of the head should be cut off. Anchor bolts are used to connect and fix the machine and the ground. There are many shapes. U-shaped bolts, as mentioned above. and many more.

There are also studs for welding. One end has threads and the other is not. It can be welded to the part, and the nut is screwed directly on the other side.

3, riding bolt

The English name of the riding bolt is U-bolt. It is a non-standard part. The shape is U-shaped, so it is also called U-bolt. Both ends have threads that can be combined with nuts. They are mainly used to fix tubular objects such as water pipes or sheet objects such as car plates. The spring is called a riding bolt because it fixes the object in the same way as a person riding on a horse.
