Jiangxin Time: Why are flange bolts and nuts becoming more and more popular?

In the family of hardware fasteners, flange bolts and flange nuts have been increasingly favored in industrial and daily applications in recent years due to their excellent performance and unique design. So, what makes them so popular?

Flange bolts and flange nuts

                                    Flange bolts                                                                                                         Flange nuts

Flange bolts have a circular flange on the bolt head,                                           Flange nuts have a similar flange at the bottom of the nut 

and the bottom of the flange usually has a serrated design.                               and are often used with flange bolts.

Flange design: equivalent to an additional gasket,                                              Anti-loosening performance: When used with flange bolts,

which can increase the force area and effectively disperse the pressure.            it can effectively improve the stability of the connection.

Anti-slip serrations: increase surface friction and prevent loosening.                  Simplified process: eliminates the installation steps of separate gaskets

Common and multi-purpose.

Advantages of flange bolts and nuts

Efficient installation, saving time

The flange design eliminates the step of using additional gaskets, making installation faster. For assembly lines or scenes that require frequent installation, the efficiency improvement is particularly significant.

Excellent anti-loosening effect

The serrations or patterns on the flange can significantly increase friction and prevent loosening caused by vibration and torque, which is suitable for mechanical equipment and the automotive industry.

Protect the surface of the fastener
The larger contact area can reduce the damage to the surface of the workpiece caused by point force and extend the life of the equipment.

Adapt to a variety of environments

Flange bolts and nuts can be made of different materials and surface treatment processes (such as galvanizing, nickel plating, stainless steel materials) to meet a variety of environmental requirements, such as corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance.

Why are they becoming more and more popular?

Demands brought by industrial upgrading

With the popularization of industrial automation and high-precision manufacturing, the advantages of flange bolts and nuts in simplifying the installation process are becoming increasingly prominent, which can meet the assembly line's requirements for efficiency and stability.

Higher requirements for safety performance

The improvement of anti-loosening and anti-seismic performance caters to the pursuit of safe connections in various industries, especially in aviation, automobiles and other fields.

Environmental protection and cost-effectiveness

Flange bolts and nuts eliminate the need for additional gaskets, which not only reduces material waste, but also reduces manufacturing and assembly costs, which is in line with the trend of green manufacturing.

Recommendations for selecting flange bolts and nuts

Consider connection strength

In high vibration environments, flange bolts and nuts with serrations should be selected to enhance anti-loosening capabilities.

Choose appropriate surface treatment

Select materials such as galvanized and stainless steel according to the use environment to ensure corrosion resistance and service life.

Pay attention to specification matching

Flange bolts and nuts should be used as a set to achieve their best performance.

Flange bolts and nuts are becoming an important choice in industrial and daily applications due to their advantages such as efficient installation, anti-loosening performance and strong adaptability. Whether it is complex mechanical assembly or simplified construction, they have demonstrated strong competitiveness. In the future, with the promotion and use of more industries, their market share is expected to further increase.
