Types of Bolts

Nuts and bolts are threaded fasteners used to join parts together. Common types of nuts include hex nuts, machine screw nuts, nylock nuts, and wing nuts. Bolts are similar to screws but have external threads and are used with nuts. Common bolt types are hex bolts, carriage bolts, lag bolts, and shoulder bolts. Nuts and bolts work together by having matching internal and external threads that grip when tightened.

TYPES OF BOLTS AND NUTS

A nut is a type of fastener with a threaded hole. Nuts are almost always used in
conjunction with a mating bolt to fasten multiple parts together. The two partners are kept
together by a combination of their threads' friction (with slight elastic deformation), a
slight stretching of the bolt, and compression of the parts to be held together.

CLASSIFICATION OF NUTS

HEX NUT - The most common hexagonal fastener with internal


threads that screws on to the shank of a bolt or a hex cap screw.

MACHINE SCREW NUT - Machine screw nuts are designed to mate


machine with screws, screws commonly used in metal fastening.

Nylon Insert Lock - A nut with a nylon insertto prevent backing off.
Also referred to as a Nylock

JAM a hex nut with reduced height

Nylon Insert Jam Lock - A nylock nut with a reduced height


Wing - A nut with 'wings' for hand tightening.

Cap - A nut with a domed top over the end of the fastener.

SQUARE - A four sided nut.

A bolt is a form of threaded fastener with an external male thread. Bolts are thus closely
related to, and often confused with, screws.

CLASSIFICATION OF BOLTS

FLANGE BOLTS Flange bolts have a flange on the


bottom of the head that distributes the load like a washer.

SOCKET SCREWS - Socket screws, also known as Allen head


are fastened with a hex Allen wrench

EYE BOLTS - A bolt with a circular ring on the head end. Used
for attaching rope or chain.
HEX BOLTS - Bolts with a hexagonal head with threads for
use with a nut or tapped hole.

CARRIAGE BOLTS - Bolts with a smooth rounded head that


has a small square section underneath.

LAG BOLTS - Bolts with a wood threadand pointed


tip. Abbreviated Lag.

SHOULDER BOLTS - Shoulder bolts (also known as


stripper bolts) are used to create a pivot point.

ELEVATOR BOLTS - Elevator bolts are often used in


conveyor systems. They have a large, flat head.

HANGER BOLTS - Hanger bolts have wood thread on


one end and machine thread on the other end.
