Heavy Hex Bolts Overview

A heavy hex bolt is a type of bolt with a larger, thicker hexagonal head compared to a standard hex bolt. It is designed to withstand higher stress and provide greater torque capacity, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications. Key features include:

• Larger Head: The head is thicker and larger, providing a larger surface area for tightening with a wrench or socket.
• Stronger Material: Typically made from high-strength materials like carbon steel or alloy steel to handle heavy loads.

Specifications

• Dimensions: Heavy hexagonal bolts have various sizes, with common imperial sizes ranging from 3/8 inches to 3 inches and metric sizes ranging from M12 to M36. Its specific dimensions include the bolt diameter, hexagonal head width across flats, hexagonal head width across corners, bolt length, etc. Different diameter and length combinations can meet various application scenarios.
• Thread specifications: It can be equipped with a variety of different thread types, such as British coarse thread (UNC), British fine thread (UNF), metric coarse thread, metric fine thread, etc., to meet different connection requirements.

Application of Stainless Steel Heavy Hex Bolts

• Construction field: In building structures, heavy hexagonal bolts are often used to connect steel beams, steel columns, trusses and other components to ensure the stability and safety of the structure. For example, in bridge construction, it can withstand the dynamic load generated by vehicle driving and the static load of the bridge itself; in high-rise buildings, it can firmly connect steel structure frames together.
• Industrial field: It is widely used in machinery manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, shipbuilding, petrochemical, electric power and other industries. For example, in machinery manufacturing, it is used to fix the base of large equipment and connect mechanical parts; in automobile manufacturing, it can be used for the connection of key parts such as engines and chassis; in shipbuilding, it is used to connect hull structures and onboard equipment; in petrochemical and electric power industries, it is used for sealing connections of high-temperature and high-pressure equipment.
