What are Carriage Bolts, their Types and Usage

We, DIC Fasteners have been Supplying a wide variety of Carriage Bolts. These Bolts come in various sizes, standard materials, and grades. They are used in different industries to connect and fix machines and equipment.

A Carriage Bolt is a different type of fastener that comes square neck under its round head. These bolts have a smooth domed head with a square section that inserts into the material to prevent spinning during installation. As their name suggests carriage bolts are initially used on carriages and carriage wheels.

Types of Carriage Bolts

* Round Head, Ribbed Neck: These types of bolts have serrated or ribbed shoulders and feature around the head. These are mostly used in soft and ductile metals, plastic, and wood.

* Round Head, Short Neck: These bolts have a square-shaped shoulder. Their short neck makes them suitable to use with sheet metal as a standard size neck.

* Flat Head, Square Neck: As its name suggest, they feature a flat head, which lowers the profile on the top or front side of the fastener.

* Fin Neck: The Fin neck carriage bolts feature a round head and a flat bearing surface. These fin neck bolts are commonly used in thin plywood.

Usage of Carriage Bolts

Carriage Bolts are mostly used to hold together wood with wood, wood with metal, and also metal with metal. The particular shape of these bolts allows self-locking when they are placed through a square hole, especially when dealing with metal. These bolts are used by homeowners, and also by professional carpenters, for DIY projects, home maintenance, and repairs.

Many high-strength nuts are used in connecting bridges and rail or some high-pressure and ultra-high-pressure equipment.   Is the High-Quality Steel Nuts safe for equipment?   The fracture mode of High-Quality Steel Nuts is a generally brittle fracture. Basically, to ensure the container's sealing, we require a large pre-stress when installing the high-pressure equipment.  Using high-strength steel nuts Nowadays, many power generation equipment and vehicles such as cars, trains, and airplanes are undergoing rapid development.   Therefore, locking components such as our industrial nuts also need to follow the trend and develop rapidly to keep up with the pace of development.   High-Strength Bolts are mainly used to connect some essential mechanical equipment, especially the repeated disassembly and
