In the UK market, coach bolts are also known as carriage bolts. This name originates from their historical use in fastening the wooden components of horse-drawn carriages. Their design, featuring a shallow domed head that can be square, circular, or hexagonal, serves a dual purpose. Firstly, it prevents loosening from one side, essential for maintaining the integrity of wooden structures. Secondly, it deters the bolt from being pulled through wood. Installation and removal of coach bolts are unique due to their domed head, requiring tools such as wrenches, spanners, or pliers for turning the bolt, rather than methods that push the bolt axially.
Coach screws are commonly used as a heavy-duty fastening solution, often in place of standard screws or less durable fasteners. In the UK, they find extensive use across various industries due to their strength and reliability. These industries include construction and transportation, where their ability to fasten metal to wood or to join different types of timber is invaluable. Carriage bolts are not limited to commercial or industrial applications; they are also popular in DIY projects, demonstrating their versatility.
The stainless steel composition of our carriage screws offers significant advantages. High-quality stainless steel, such as A2 304 stainless steel, used in these bolts, provides exceptional strength and oxidation resistance. This makes them highly durable, ensuring longevity even in demanding applications. The corrosion resistance of stainless steel is particularly beneficial for outdoor projects, where environmental factors might compromise other materials. Their robustness is crucial in applications like bridge building or heavy-duty construction, where the structural integrity of the project cannot be compromised.
In UK manufacturing and construction, coach screws are integral to numerous applications. Their robust nature makes them ideal for timber framing, roofing systems, and bridge construction. They are reliable in ensuring the safety and stability of playground equipment, a testament to their load-bearing capacity. The diversity in sizes and materials, including stainless steel variants, enables tailored solutions for specific project requirements. This adaptability underscores their importance in the construction sector, where precision and reliability are paramount.
Coach bolts stand out from other stainless steel fasteners due to their unique design and functionality. The mushroom-shaped head provides added security, making them more resistant to tampering compared to standard hex head bolts. This feature, combined with the square cup under the bolt head that prevents turning during tightening, enhances their stability and ease of use. They are particularly suitable for applications requiring high security and reliability, such as in public infrastructure or areas prone to tampering. The choice of a coach bolt over a standard stainless steel hex head bolt thus hinges on its superior security features and stability in load-bearing applications.
When selecting coach bolts, understanding the difference between fully threaded and partially threaded variants is crucial. Fully threaded bolts feature threads along their entire length, making them ideal for applications where the distribution of mounting pressure is vital, such as in the automotive industry. This full threading ensures even load distribution. In contrast, partially threaded bolts have an unthreaded section beneath the head, providing a grip length. These are preferable in situations where shear strength is paramount, like in the assembly of water pumps, alternators, and motor mounts. Thus, the decision between fully and partially threaded coach bolts hinges on the specific requirements of load distribution and shear strength within a project.
Our range of stainless steel carriage bolts adhere to the DIN 603 manufacturing standard are an essential component for a wide range of applications, offering unmatched durability, security, and versatility. Whether for commercial, industrial, or personal projects, their quality and design make them a superior choice.
