Allen bolt advantage and manufacturing method
Today, Allen bolts are a common part in fasteners and are used in a wide range of applications. So what are the advantages of the allen bolt? What are the methods for making allen bolts? Let's take a look at the advantages and production methods of the allen bolts.
The screw head of the hexagon socket head screw is rounded, and the middle is a recessed hexagon. The advantage of such a structure is obvious.
1. not easy to disassemble. The tools we usually use are a live wrench, a screwdriver and a wrench. The special wrench is required to remove the allen bolts. Therefore, it is not easy to disassemble. This is also a benefit.
2. The load is greater. It has six force-bearing faces and is more versatile than a slotted screw and a cross-shaped screw with only two faces.
3. Easy to install. Compared with the outer hexagonal screws, the inner hexagon is suitable for more assembly occasions, especially in narrow places, so it is easy to assemble and repair, and easy to debug.
4. Can be buried in the head. That is, the entire nut is sunk inside the workpiece to keep the surface of the workpiece flat and beautiful.
How to make your allen bolt
The production of allen bolts is generally started from the purchase of screw wire. What kind of allen bolts are required to purchase the same type of screw wire. Also determine the allen bolts for the material, for example, some are stainless steel allen bolts, some are 4.8 hexagon socket head cap screws, some are 8.8 grade hexagon socket head bolts, and some are 12.9 grade hexagon socket head screws. These determine the material of the screw wire material, whether it is iron or stainless steel, and what grade of carbon steel is used. Then, the mold is ordered according to the allen bolt, and then the head is turned on, and then the tooth is smashed, and the hexagonal bolt thread is smashed to make it pass the stop gauge. If it is a stainless steel allen bolt, it needs to be cleaned and dried. Some require high levels of passivation to make the salt spray longer. Some iron hex socket screws need to be electroplated to take the plating, summarizing the customer's requirements, plating different colors.
The above is about the advantages of the allen bolts and the production method. I hope everyone will understand the advantages and production methods of the allen bolts.
