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.

Features

• Larger head: Compared with standard hexagonal bolts, heavy hexagonal bolts have thicker and larger heads, which enables them to provide a larger pressure-bearing area, thereby better dispersing the clamping force and suitable for connections that bear larger loads.
• Higher strength: Usually made of medium carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel and other materials, after appropriate heat treatment or processing technology, it has higher strength and hardness and can meet the requirements of high-strength connections.

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 Hexagon Bolts

• Used in construction, machinery, structural applications, and other areas where strong and durable fastening is required, especially for high-stress or load-bearing connections.
• The heavy hex bolt is commonly used in industries like construction, shipbuilding, and heavy equipment manufacturing due to its ability to handle high forces and its robust design.
