Huizhou Zeyao Hardware Products Co., Ltd. specializes in the production of custom fasteners, including screws, bolts, nuts, washers, pins, spacers, standoffs, rivets, CNC-milled parts, and CNC-turned parts. Our products find extensive application across various industries, such as automotive manufacturing, electronics, construction, aerospace, industrial machinery, medical devices, furniture, household goods, railway transportation, and more.

 

Hex Bolts are among the most widely used fasteners in the industrial, construction, and machinery sectors, but they are not simply "standard parts." In real-world applications, different operating environments, stress patterns, and installation structures place specific requirements on the materials, strength, thread precision, and surface finish of Hex Bolts. Therefore, choosing a genuine Hex Bolt manufacturer is more important than simply comparing prices or catalog specifications.

Types of Hex Bolt

The hex bolts produced by our company mainly include the following types:

 
 

Square Head Bolt

The square head bolt is a high-performance fastening known for its superior corrosion resistance and strength. It can endure harsh environments and is ideal for use in demanding applications.

 
 
 

Button Head Flanged Head Bolt

LThe button head flanged bolt is designed with a button head, a flange, and a threaded shaft. The button head makes the installation and removal easier. The flange increases the surface area of contact between the bolt and the connected parts, which helps to reduce the risk of damage to the surface.

 
 
 

Phillips Flanged Head Bolt

The Phillips flanged head bolt is a high-strength fastening. Its Phillips head increases the contact area with tools, which makes the installation and removal quick and easy. The flange underneath the head provides more surface area in contact with the connected material, ensuring a better, more secure fit and enhancing the bolt's sealing capabilities.

Hex Bolt Thread Type

Partially-Threaded Hex Bolts

Partially-threaded hex bolts are only threaded from partway down the bolt’s length to the end. An unthreaded shank (also known as grip length) joins the threaded shank and the head. Partially-threaded bolts provide strong levels of resistance. Strain on the unthreaded part of the shank is prevented by the design which ensures that section has no weak spots.

 

Fully-Threaded Hex Bolts

Fully-threaded hex bolts are threaded from the end of the bolt right up to the head. They are ideal for use in heavy-duty fastening applications and are best suited to installation in pre-threaded holes. Properly installed fully-threaded hex bolts are designed to spread the pressure across the full length of the bolt, providing a greater level of strength than partially-threaded alternatives.

 

Steps for Tightening Hex Bolts
 

Using a Socket Wrench

Socket wrenches are for hex bolts with an indentation or opening on the top. Before you begin, make sure you have the correct size socket to match the bolt you’re trying to install or remove. Then, follow these steps:

  • Place the square hold onto the socket’s square knob to attach.
  • Wait until you hear or feel a click, indicating the wrench and socket are connected.
  • Choose which direction you want to move on your wrench by turning the dial to the right for tightening or left for loosening.
  • Place the socket on the bolt. Twist the wrench all the way to one side until you feel the bolt remove.
  • If you have a ratcheting socket wrench, instead of removing the wrench, twist it back to the starting point and repeat the same process until the bolt is in or out.

Using a Standard Wrench

As with socket wrenches, standard wrenches are available in various sizes and widths and need to match the bolt you’re installing or removing. Open-end wrenches surround a hex-head bolt on four sides and can slide sideways onto a bolt in a hard-to-reach place. Box-end wrenches are closed and must be placed over the top of the bolt. Some box-end wrenches have ratchet capabilities. Here’s how a standard wrench works:

  • Choose the wrench with a corresponding size to your bolt.
  • Set the wrench around the bolt.
  • Turn clockwise to tighten or counterclockwise to loosen.
  • If your wrench doesn’t have ratchet action, remove the wrench and reset it on the bolt to continue turning.
  • Repeat the process until the bolt is tightened or loosened.

Using an Adjustable Wrench

An adjustable wrench has a moveable jaw so you can make the wrench bigger and smaller as needed to match the size of the bolt. You don’t need to find the matching size tool with an adjustable wrench, but it won’t ratchet. Here’s how to use an adjustable wrench.

  • Place the wrench loosely around the bolt.
  • Adjust the wrench until it fits tightly around the head.
  • As with a standard wrench, turn clockwise to tighten or counterclockwise to loosen.
  • Remove the wrench and reset to continue turning, and repeat until the bolt is in or out.

FAQ

 

Q: What is the formula for a hex bolt?

A: The usual proportions, for ordinary hexagonal nuts, are as follows: Size across flats, A/F = 1.25 D + 6 mm for bolts less than 12 mm in diameter. Or = 1.5 D + 3 mm for bolts more than 12 mm in diameter. In general A/F = 1.5 D.

Q: How do you tell what grade a hex bolt is?

A: If you see radial lines, these lines indicate the grade of steel the bolt is made from. The number of lines present is two less than the total steel grade.

Q: How do I know what size hex bolt I have?

A: Diameter (W): The diameter of a hex bolt is typically measured across the outer edges of its threads.
Length (L): The length of a hex bolt is measured from the bottom of the head to the tip of the threaded portion.

Q: What is the difference between hex bolts and hex screws?

A: The main difference between hex bolts and hex screws is that hex bolts are used with a nut, while hex screws are used without a nut and are driven directly into tapped holes. Hex bolts typically have a larger and thicker shank compared to hex screws.

Q: What materials are hex bolts made from?

A: Hex bolts are commonly made from steel, stainless steel, brass, and other alloys. Steel hex bolts are often zinc-plated or hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance, while stainless steel bolts are naturally resistant to rust and corrosion, making them suitable for outdoor and marine environments.

Q: How do you choose the right hex bolt?

A: Choosing the right hex bolt involves considering the material, size, thread type, and coating based on the specific application. It's important to match the bolt's strength and corrosion resistance to the environment and load requirements of your project.
