Type: | Hexagon Bolt |
Definition: | Hexagon Bolt, also called hex bolts or hex head cap screws, are threaded fasteners with a six-sided head. They are installed with a wrench or a socket. Compared to other fasteners, hex head cap screws provide a larger surface-bearing area for better clamping. |
Description: | Hex bolts, also called hexagon head bolts, hex cap bolts, or machine bolts, are a very common choice when it comes to construction and repair. Hexagon screw head bolts come in a large variety of sizes and diameters. |
Application: | Bolts and nuts are designed with a hexagonal shape because it makes them easy to turn. With six sides, you can turn a fastener just one-sixth of the way to reach the next flat parallel. There are six flat parallels on hexagonal bolts and nuts. |
Others: | A hex key wrench or Allen wrench has a hexagonal shaped body. The metal shaft may end in an L-shape or T-shape that serves as a handle. This makes it easier to turn. Hex wrenches often come in a set with several different sizes. |
