| Type: | Step Bolt/Screw |
| Definition: | A step screw is simply understood to be a non-standard screw with more than two steps. Step bolts, also known as shoulder screws, are a type of fastener that has a cylindrical body with an unfinished shoulder. |
Description:
| Step Bolts, similar to a carriage bolt in bearing surface and square-neck design, but with a wider, lower-profile, round head. Step bolts are designed to hold two objects together without having to use traditional fasteners like nails or screws. They have a cylindrical body with an unfinished shoulder designed to fit into a mating part. The benefit of using step bolts is that they can be adjusted or tightened easily without having to remove the entire bolt. This makes them ideal for connecting pieces in tight or hard-to-reach locations where traditional fasteners cannot be used. |
| Application: | Step bolts are used in various applications, from automotive to industrial settings. Step bolts provide superior strength and durability, making them ideal for many types of projects. Some common examples include securing brake assemblies on vehicles, attaching air filters to engines, and connecting components to medical equipment. Additionally, step bolts are often used in furniture assembly and construction projects due to their ability to adjust easily without needing tools or other removal devices. |
| Others: | Step bolts are preferred for use where wood is bolted down as decking--the larger diameter head of the step bolt will not pull through the soft wood. |
