Bolts

A bolt is a threaded fastener designed to join parts together with a nut or with a threaded hole. The end is usually fitted with a head for a wrench — hexagon and square variants are the most common, and headless bolts for manual screwing-in also exist. A washer is often used together with the nut: it increases the fastener’s bearing surface and prevents the nut from loosening on its own.

Product range

Industry produces many varieties of bolts, each suited to its own application. They are usually made of stainless steel — which combines strength and corrosion resistance — though variants in other materials also exist.

A bolted joint is quick to assemble and disassemble, and provides a reliable connection. For a combination of strength and a neat appearance, countersunk-head bolts are used — such fasteners withstand significant mechanical loads over a long service life.

Bolts are used to fasten both static parts and parts that move relative to one another. Installation does not require specialized skills.

Bolted connections are used in construction, the automotive industry, machine building, furniture assembly, road construction and maintenance, machine-tool building, instrument making and other fields. This is why wholesale bolt products are one of FLOK’s lines of business.

Installation is carried out either through a nut or by screwing into pre-made threaded holes. When threading the hole, the thread parameters of the bolt itself must be taken into account.

Bolt products are manufactured to standards that regulate the material, size, the product’s ability to withstand mechanical loads, and other parameters. These parameters are important to consider when choosing wholesale bolt fasteners, especially for applications with increased loads.

Stainless steel is resistant to aggressive environmental effects, but zinc plating and anodizing are applied to further improve performance characteristics — this increases the products’ resistance to moisture and temperature fluctuations.

At FLOK you can select and purchase wholesale bolt products to the standard you need.
