Pulttijärjestelmät

Pulttijärjestelmät, or bolt systems, refer to the methods and components used to secure two or more objects together using bolts and associated hardware. A typical bolt system comprises a bolt, which is a threaded fastener with a head, and a nut, which is a threaded fastener with a hexagonal or square opening. When a bolt is passed through aligned holes in the objects to be joined and a nut is tightened onto its threaded end, a clamping force is created, holding the objects firmly. Washers are often included in bolt systems to distribute the load over a larger area, preventing damage to the surfaces and ensuring a more secure connection. Lock washers or specialized locking nuts can also be employed to prevent loosening due to vibration or thermal expansion.

The design and selection of a pulttijärjestelmä depend on various factors, including the load requirements, the materials being joined, the operating environment, and the desired lifespan of the connection. Common bolt materials include steel alloys of varying strengths, stainless steel for corrosion resistance, and even plastics or composites for specific applications. The head shape of the bolt, such as hexagonal, square, or socket cap, is chosen based on the tools available for installation and the required clearance. Similarly, the thread type and pitch of the bolt and nut must be compatible for proper engagement. Pulttijärjestelmät are fundamental in countless engineering and construction applications, from the smallest electronic devices to the largest bridges and structures.
