- Usage scenarios
Stud bolts are suitable for use when they need to be adjusted or disassembled in the middle of the tightening position. Single-head bolts are more suitable for use when they need to be installed on one side without adjustment or disassembly.
- Features
Stud bolts and single-head bolts also have the following differences in characteristics:
- Stud bolts need to be adjusted at both ends when connected, which can make the parts more precise after tightening.
- The connection tightness of stud bolts is higher, which can better ensure the stability of the connection.
- Single-head bolts can be more convenient when installed, and no adjustment is required at both ends.
- The connection of single-head bolts needs to be rotated on one side and cannot be fine-tuned.
- How to choose the right bolt
Choosing the right bolt requires consideration from the following aspects:
- The shape and position of the fastening point.
- The tools and skills used.
- The load-bearing capacity of parts and bolts.
- Working environment and use conditions.
In summary, stud bolts and single-head bolts have different characteristics and applicable scenarios. When making actual choices, you should evaluate them according to the specific situation, find out the applicable scenarios and choose the appropriate bolts for use.
