āļø Key Functions of Flange Hexagonal Bolts
A flange hexagonal bolt is a specialized fastener used to connect critical components with high reliability. Its main functions include:
š
Stable Connection
Provides a large tightening force to firmly connect flanges and components, ensuring long-term structural stability.
ā”
Power Transmission
Transmits both fastening force and the mechanical power required by heavy-duty machinery and industrial equipment.
š”ļø
Ensure Sealing
Isolates connections from external media, ensuring the device remains airtight or watertight under pressure.
šŖ
Higher Preload Capacity
Offers a superior support-area-to-stress ratio, allowing it to withstand higher preload forces and resist loosening.
ā Frequently Asked Questions
Q What is a DIN 6921 flange hexagon bolt?
It is a standardized fastener with an integrated flange beneath the head that acts as a built-in washer, distributing load over a larger surface area for a more stable connection.
Q What materials are available for these bolts?
Available in steel (classes 8.8, 10.9, 12.9) and stainless steel (A2-70). Galvanized versions are also common for superior corrosion resistance.
Q What thread sizes does the DIN 6921 standard cover?
Metric sizes range from M5 to M20. Both coarse and fine thread pitches are supported depending on the specific application needs.
Q What are the advantages over standard hex bolts?
They eliminate the need for separate washers, reduce surface pressure, offer better anti-loosening properties, and handle higher preload forces effectively.
Q What is the difference between Type A and Type B?
The difference lies in the thread run-out diameter (da). Type B has a slightly larger maximum value than Type A, affecting the thread transition zone for different tolerance needs.
Q In which applications are they commonly used?
Widely used in automotive manufacturing, machinery assembly, structural steel, pipe flanges, and industrial equipment subject to vibration.
