Common types of bolts

A bolt is a common fastener used to connect two or more parts. According to different shapes, purposes, and standards, bolts can be classified into various types

Here are some common types of bolts:

Ordinary bolt: This is the most basic type of bolt, usually consisting of a head, thread, and bolt stem. According to the different shapes of the head, ordinary bolts can be divided into hexagonal bolts, round head bolts, flat head bolts, etc

Stud: A stud is similar to a regular bolt, but the end without a bolt stem is flat and used to connect with parts with holes. Studs are usually used in situations where parts need to be fixed on a flat surface

Bolt nail: A bolt nail is a type of fastener similar to a bolt but without a nut, typically having a hexagonal or rounded head on one end and a threaded end on the other. Bolts are usually used in situations where it is necessary to tighten parts when nuts cannot be used

Bolt straps: Bolt straps are a type of bolt with slotted holes that are typically used to connect parts that require frequent disassembly and assembly

Double headed bolt: Double headed bolts have two threaded bolt shafts, allowing them to connect two parts simultaneously

Higher strength bolts: Higher strength bolts are usually made of higher strength steel and can withstand large tensile or shear forces. They are typically used in applications that require high safety and durability, such as building structures, bridges, mechanical equipment, etc

Bolt kit: The bolt kit includes accessories such as bolts, nuts, and washers, and is typically used for purchasing all required fasteners at once for easy installation and maintenance

Self tapping screw: Self tapping screw is a type of fastener with built-in threads, usually used for drilling and fixing directly on metal or plastic parts without the need for nuts
