Tension control bolts fastenal.
Unlike screws which cut their own threads bolts pair with the internal threads of nuts to stay in place and ensure the desired level of tension in the bolted joint.
Tension control bolts assemblies come with their own built in tension control device spline to ensure dependable and repeatable tension levels are achieved with each installation.
It is one of the most commonly used fasteners for high strength applications even preferred over large hex bolts.
These tension control bolt assemblies come with nuts and washers.
The most common alternative design bolt is the twist off bolt or tension control tc bolt.
It requires a special wrench to work with.
Tension control bolts have a threaded shank with a splined end that shears or twists off when the bolt is tightened.
They are installed with a specialized electric shear wrench that has an outer socket that turns the nut counterclockwise while grabbing the spline with the inner socket turning it clockwise.
These tension control bolt assemblies come with nuts and washers.
Tension control bolts from ita fasteners are used for steel to steel fastening.
An outer spindle on the tool turns the nut and tightens the fastener.
Tension control bolts commonly used in critical steel applications tension control bolts feature a spline that disconnects when the appropriate bolt tension is reached.
2 a heavy hex nut and 3 a structural flat washer.
The tip is calibrated to shear off when the proper tension is applied.
An assembly tool holds this bolt from the nut end while an inner spindle on the tool grips a spline section connected to the end of the bolt.
As they are made from stainless steel carbon steel or alloy steel they can be used for highly demanding high strength applications and are often preferred over large hex bolts.
Tension control bolts also known as tc bolts are used for high strength steel to steel fastening.
The tension control bolt consists of a three piece fastening system with 1 a round head bolt with a truncated flat surface area at the top of the bolt and a 24 sided tip which protrudes from the opposite end.
The head is dome shaped and is not designed to be driven with normal tools.
Tension control bolts are used in structural steel applications and require.
Bolts are headed externally threaded fasteners used to keep two objects often metal or wood in a fixed position relative to one another.
