Standardbolzen

Standardbolzen refers to a type of fastener commonly used in mechanical engineering and construction. These bolts adhere to established industry standards for dimensions, material properties, and thread specifications. The use of standard bolts ensures interchangeability, meaning that a bolt manufactured by one company can be used with a nut or threaded hole from another, provided both adhere to the same standard. This standardization simplifies procurement, maintenance, and repair processes.

Common standards for bolts include those set by organizations like the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). These standards specify parameters such as diameter, length, thread pitch, head type, and material strength grades. For example, metric bolts follow ISO standards, while inch-based bolts often follow ASME or Unified Thread Standard (UTS) specifications. The head of a standard bolt can vary, including hexagonal, square, or button head designs, each suited for different applications and tooling. Material grades indicate the tensile strength and yield strength of the bolt, crucial for determining its load-bearing capacity.
