Discover more about the Self Tapping Flanged Hexagon Bolts range.
Self-tapping flanged hexagon bolts are specialised fasteners designed to create their own threads as they are driven into materials, eliminating the need for pre-drilled holes.
The integrated flanged hexagon head provides a larger surface area, allowing for greater load distribution and enhanced clamping torque. This design ensures a secure and stable fastening, making these bolts indispensable in various engineering applications.
How Self-Tapping Flanged Hexagon Bolts Work
These bolts feature a sharp, drill-like point that enables them to cut into materials such as sheet metal or plastic, forming threads as they are installed. The flanged hexagon head allows for higher clamping torque compared to their non-flanged variant, ensuring a robust and reliable connection.
The Materials Self-Tapping Flanged Hexagon Bolts Are Made From
Accu's range of self-tapping flange bolts is made from carbon steel with a zinc-plated finish, offering a balance between strength and corrosion resistance. The zinc plating provides a protective layer, enhancing durability in various environments.
Sizes and Types of Self-Tapping Flanged Hexagon Bolts Available
Our self-tapping flanged hexagon bolts are available in sizes ranging from No.8 (4.2mm) to No.14 (6.3mm), catering to a variety of application needs. This range allows for selection based on specific requirements, ensuring optimal performance in different engineering projects.
FAQs
Q: What materials are suitable for self-tapping flanged hexagon bolts?
A: These bolts are ideal for fastening sheet metal, wood and plastic, providing a secure connection in all materials.
Q: Do self-tapping flanged hexagon bolts require a pilot hole?
A: While these bolts are designed to create their own threads, drilling a pilot hole can be beneficial in harder materials to guide the bolt and prevent potential material splitting.
Q: How does the flanged head benefit the fastening process?
A: The flanged head allows for more clamping torque than other head types, ensuring a secure and stable fastening.
Q: Can self-tapping flanged hexagon bolts be reused?
A: While it's possible to reuse these bolts, it's important to note that the threads in the material may wear over time, potentially compromising the integrity of the fastening.
