Kerékcsavar

Kerékcsavar is the Hungarian word for wheel bolt. Wheel bolts are fasteners that are used to attach a wheel to a vehicle's hub. They are typically made of steel and have a threaded shaft with a head that is designed to fit into a corresponding recess in the wheel. The head of the wheel bolt usually has a hexagonal shape, allowing it to be tightened with a wrench.

When installing a wheel, the kerékcsavar is inserted through a hole in the wheel and screwed into a threaded hole in the wheel hub. The wheel is then secured to the hub by tightening the kerékcsavar. It is crucial that wheel bolts are tightened to the correct torque specification to ensure the wheel is securely attached and to prevent damage to the wheel or the hub.

The number and size of kerékcsavarok vary depending on the vehicle manufacturer and model. Common configurations include four or five wheel bolts per wheel. The thread pitch and diameter of the bolts must match those of the threaded holes in the hub. Using the incorrect kerékcsavar can lead to a loose wheel, which is a serious safety hazard. Regularly checking the tightness of wheel bolts is recommended as part of vehicle maintenance.
