Audited Supplier A bolt is a type of fastener, usually made from metal, that commonly comprises a head at one end, a chamfer at the other, and a shaft characterised by an external helical ridge known as a 'thread'. Bolts are typically used to hold materials or objects together, or to position objects.
The chamfer at the opposite end of the head provides a slightly bevelled edge which helps with inserting the bolt into holes and nuts. Bolts typically (but not always) require a nut which is applied via torque while the bolt is held in place (or vice versa). Vibration or dynamic loads may loosen nuts, necessitating the use of locknuts, lock washers or thread lockers which can provide resistance to loosening.
Bolts and screws
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The terms 'bolts' and 'screws' are sometimes used interchangeably, and the distinction between them can be complex, however, in simple terms, a bolt passes through the materials it is fixing together (typically into a nut at the other side), whereas a screw threads directly into them.
Bolts are often made of steel, and where resistance is required to weather or corrosion, they may be galvanised, or stainless steel, brass, zinc or titanium may be used.
