Carriage Bolts: Secure and Reliable Fasteners for Diverse Applications

Carriage bolts offer a unique and robust solution for fastening applications where a clean, finished look is desired and a high level of security is needed. Unlike standard bolts, their rounded head and square neck prevent them from turning during installation, ensuring a strong and reliable connection. This makes them ideal for applications where vibration or stress is a concern.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Rounded Head: Provides a smooth, aesthetically pleasing finish. Ideal for applications where the bolt head will be visible.
• Square Neck: Prevents rotation of the bolt head during tightening, crucial for maintaining a secure joint under stress. This eliminates the need for additional securing mechanisms.
• High Tensile Strength: Crafted from durable materials, typically steel, ensuring excellent resistance to shear and tensile forces.
• Variety of Materials: Available in various materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, and brass, catering to specific application requirements and corrosion resistance needs. Stainless steel options provide superior rust and corrosion resistance for outdoor or harsh environment applications.
• Wide Range of Sizes: Available in a wide variety of sizes (diameter and length) to accommodate diverse projects and material thicknesses. This ensures a perfect fit for various applications.
• Easy Installation: Relatively easy to install with standard tools, requiring only a wrench or socket to tighten.
• Versatile Applications: Suitable for numerous applications, including:
  • Wood to Metal Joints: Ideal for joining wooden components to metal frames or structures.
  • Machinery Assembly: Securely fastening components in machinery and equipment.
  • Automotive Applications: Used in various automotive components where a strong and reliable connection is crucial.
  • Furniture Manufacturing: Creating robust and aesthetically pleasing furniture connections.
  • Construction: Securing structural components in buildings and other structures.

Specifications (Typical, Varies by Manufacturer and Size):

• Material: Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel (304 or 316), Brass
• Head Type: Rounded
• Neck Type: Square
• Finish: Zinc-plated, Stainless Steel, Black Oxide (depending on material)
• Thread Type: Coarse or Fine (depending on size and application)
• Available Sizes: Diameter ranges from 1/4" to 1" or more; Lengths vary greatly depending on diameter.

Choosing the Right Carriage Bolt:

Selecting the appropriate carriage bolt involves considering factors like:

• Material: Choose a material that offers the necessary corrosion resistance and strength for the intended application.
• Size: Determine the appropriate diameter and length based on the thickness of the materials being joined and the required clamping force.
• Thread Type: Select coarse or fine threads depending on the material being fastened and the desired holding power.
