Whether you're trying to pick the right fasteners for a new assembly or trying to decide if you should move up in strength because a current bolt is failing, make sure that you're looking at ALL of the important variables that factor into the appropriate design of a bolted joint.
A bolt under tension functions similarly to a spring. When a spring is pulled by its ends, it stretches, and when tension is released, it returns to its original shape. However, if the spring is stretched too far, it will remain elongated. The Fastenal Engineering & Design Support team will help you analyze any bolted joint and make sure you're looking at more than just strength. Let us review the variety of topics that should be considered whenever designing or modifying any bolted joint. Contact us at [email protected].
