1. The role of flange design
The flange part of the Hex Flange Screw Bolt is located below the bolt head, similar to a washer. The design of this flange greatly increases the contact area between the bolt and the connector. Compared with traditional bolts without flanges, the Hex Flange Screw Bolt can better disperse the load when tightening and reduce the pressure per unit area.
2. Load dispersion principle
When the bolt is subjected to external force, the load it bears will be transferred to the connector. If there is no flange, the load will be mainly concentrated on the contact point between the bolt head and the connector, which may cause excessive local pressure and even damage to the connector. The flange design of the Hex Flange Screw Bolt can disperse the load over a larger area, thereby reducing the pressure per unit area and improving the stability and safety of the connection.
3. Specific manifestations of enhancing load distribution capability
Improving connection strength: Due to the presence of the flange, the Hex Flange Screw Bolt can provide better clamping force when tightening, thereby enhancing the strength of the connection. This makes the connector less likely to loosen or break when subjected to external forces.
Reduce stress concentration: The flange design helps reduce stress concentration. In traditional bolts, stress is often concentrated at the contact point between the head and the connector, while the flange of the Hex Flange Screw Bolt can disperse stress to a larger area, thereby reducing the risk of stress concentration.
Adapt to complex load environments: In industries such as construction and machinery, connectors often need to withstand complex and variable loads. The flange design of the Hex Flange Screw Bolt enables it to better adapt to these complex load environments and ensure the stability and safety of the connection.
4. Application scenarios
Due to its excellent load distribution capability, the Hex Flange Screw Bolt is widely used in various occasions that require high-strength and high-stability connections. For example, in automobile manufacturing, the Hex Flange Screw Bolt is often used to connect key components such as engines and gearboxes; in the construction industry, it is often used to connect heavy structures such as steel structures and bridges.
