Some commonly seen fasteners include anchor bolts, U-bolts, and double-ended bolts. So how can we choose the right and reliable fasteners? Today, let's take U-bolts as an example and briefly teach you how to find the suitable U-bolts.
Different materials also have different grades, which are classified based on factors such as the usage environment and maximum load capacity. The grades commonly include 4.8, 8.8, 10.9, and 12.9. U-bolts are primarily used in the construction of factories, railways, power companies, bridges, large-span steel structures, water pumps, boiler installations, and the embedding and fixation of heavy equipment. Therefore, the selection of U-bolts can be based on their intended use.
2. Choose based on the Inner Radius of U-bolts: The design of U-bolts requires a precise inner radius, which should have a natural curvature. Only when the installation diameter matches the radius of the inner gear can U-bolts be used. If the inner gear's radius is unnatural, U-bolts cannot fit snugly against the surface of the installation diameter. In such cases, U-bolts will be ineffective, rendering U-bolt installation meaningless.
3. Consider the Anti-corrosion Treatment: U-bolts can be treated in several ways to prevent rust. Surface treatments such as color galvanization, white galvanization, hot-dip galvanization, and powder coating are commonly used to effectively prevent surface corrosion. The choice of treatment depends on the usage environment. For example, different surface treatments are needed for humid and dry environments. In summary, selecting U
