Product Summary

Longze High-Strength Bucket Elevator Bolts (DIN 15237 / Norway Style) are heavy-duty fasteners specifically designed to secure elevator buckets to conveyor belts in extreme-

wear environments. Manufactured in Yongnian, China, our elevator bolts feature an oversized thin-profile head with dual locking lugs (fangs) that bite into the belt, preventing the

bolt from spinning during high-torque tightening. Whether for grain elevators, cement plants, or heavy mining conveyors, Longze elevator bolts provide the flush-fit aerodynamics and superior clamping force required for high-speed vertical transport.

• ✔ Oversized Concave Head: The broad, thin head distributes the clamping load over a wide area of the belt, preventing "pull-through" failures even under the weight of heavy bulk materials.

•  

• ✔ Dual Locking Fangs: Precision-forged lugs under the head provide a positive mechanical lock into the belt carcass, allowing for one-sided installation and maintenance.

•  

• ✔ Flush Fit Profile: The low-profile head sits flush with the belt surface, minimizing friction with the pulley and reducing heat buildup during continuous operation.

• Standards: DIN 15237, ISO Equivalent, Norway Style (Large Head).

Avoid Pitfalls:

• Head Deformation: Poorly forged heads can cupping under tension, leading to pulley wear. Longze uses Reinforced Cold-Heading to ensure the head maintains its concave profile under full torque.

•  

• Fang Shear: If the lugs are too brittle, they snap off during installation. We implement a specific tempering cycle for Class 8.8/10.9 bolts to ensure the fangs have the "bite" without being brittle.

•  

• Nut Back-off: Vibration is the #1 killer of elevator bolts. We strictly recommend using Longze DIN 985 Nyloc Nuts or our specialized Large Domed Washers to maintain constant tension on the belt.

•  

Perfect Fit Assembly:

• Matched Washers: Always use the Large Convex Washers (DIN 15237 Standard) provided in our kits. They are shaped to nest perfectly within the bucket's mounting holes.

•  

• Torque Consistency: For rubber belts, avoid over-torquing which can crush the belt carcass. Our 8.8 grade bolts provide the perfect balance of stretch and clamping force.

•  

Quality Control & Logistics:

• ISO 9001 Certified: 5-step QC including head-to-shank tensile testing, lug hardness verification, and thread gauge inspection.

•  

• Sea-Worthy Packaging: Bolts, washers, and nuts are pre-sorted and packed in heavy-duty 25kg cartons, plastic-lined for moisture protection, and palletized for export from our Yongnian hub.

• Q: What is the difference between DIN 15237 and Norway Style? A: DIN 15237 is the metric standard with specific head and fang dimensions. "Norway Style" often refers to the large-head variants (e.g., 35mm head for M10) favored in European and Brazilian heavy-duty mining. We supply both.

• Q: Can you provide these in Imperial (UNC) threads? A: Yes, we manufacture 1/4", 5/16", and 3/8" elevator bolts for North American and Middle Eastern maintenance projects.
