The following are the main functions of bolts:
Fastening connection
Bolts cooperate with nuts to fasten two parts with through holes together using threaded connections to form a stable connection structure. This connection method is a detachable connection, which is easy to repair and replace.
Power transmission
In mechanical equipment, bolts are not only used to fix parts, but also to transmit power and bear loads to ensure the safe operation of the equipment.
Disperse pressure
Bolt connections can disperse pressure through auxiliary parts such as washers, reduce pressure per unit area, and protect the surface of the connected parts.
Adapt to a variety of scenarios
There are many types of bolts, such as hexagonal head bolts, countersunk bolts, stud bolts, etc., which are suitable for different application scenarios. For example, countersunk bolts are used in situations where a smooth appearance is required, and stud bolts are suitable for situations where the thickness of the connected parts is large.
Prevent loosening
Anti-loosening devices, such as spring washers or self-locking nuts, are often used in bolted connections to prevent loosening due to vibration or load.
