Hex Bolts

A hex bolt is also called a six-sided head. In the industry, they are very standard for fasteners using forged heads. ASTM A307 grade A bolts, all SAE  bolts, and several more most used specifications need a standard hexagonal head. For configurations such as A307 Grade B, A325, and A490, which need a weighted hex sequence, it is usually called a dimensional tolerance for structural bolts.

They exist in a range of choices, types, sizes, and materials. It offers the choice and flexibility to choose the bolt most suitable as per your application's need. Hex bolt is also commonly known as hex head bolts or hexagonal bolts, and so on. They are not fully threaded and are installed in automated or manual machinery and construction applications.   

Hex Bolt Uses   

Hex head bolts are standard and adjustable fasteners, ensuring their suitability for a variety of uses in a range of industries and applications. Such as hex bolt uses are as hex head screws for wood, metal, and several more surroundings and scenarios.   

They provide a strong tensile characteristic, and most used types may be installed in many locations. Therefore, the hex bolt is a broadly employed staple fastener.   

The typical use is for heavy load fixing and fastening materials; they are included as follows:  

• Projects that are under construction. 
• During the construction, mend, repair, and designing of buildings, bridges, hospitals, and road infrastructure.  
• Machinery integrations.  
• Woodworking applications such as fixing and fastening frames.  
• Highly standard and innovative Engineering applications.
• Automobiles and automation and control system.

How Does Hex Bolt Work?  

Hex bolt is typically used in one of the two ways: a pre-trapped hole or using nuts, based on the application's need. Moreover, they can be tightened with the help of a range of tools such as hex bolt wrench, socket, spanners, sets, and hex keys.   

This hexagon-shaped head allows it to hold a hex bolt using multiple angles with different types of tools. This ensures their configuration and removal is a very easy process. Also, allowing it is easy to loosen and tighten these bolts.   

Types of Bolts  

Different types of bolts are available, each of them characterized to be used with suitable applications and environments. They can be classified in a range of various ways, especially in their size and shape. The materials used in their creation might be completely or incompletely threaded. This section provides a more comprehensive detail for some of the important hex bolt kinds, providing you with the information you need to make an informed business decision.  

Manufacturing  

Portland Bolt designs hex bolts from 1/2″ diameter through 2-1/2″ diameter in most ASTM, AASHTO, and SAE specifications. Most standard tooling can be manufactured to provide nonstandard head dimensions with your company's name and/or logo.
