1. Product Overview
Our hex bolts, also known as hex cap screws, are designed for high-stress applications requiring superior clamping force and shear strength. Featuring a hexagonal head for easy wrenching and a fully or partially threaded shank, they are the go-to fastener for assembling heavy-duty components. We prioritize exacting hex bolt dimensions and thread tolerances to guarantee seamless compatibility with standard nuts and pre-tapped holes, streamlining your assembly process and reducing the risk of cross-threading or joint failure.
2. Key Features

7. FAQ
Q: How do I specify the correct hex bolt dimensions for my project?
A: The key hex bolt dimensions to specify are the diameter (e.g., M12), thread pitch (e.g., 1.75mm), length (measured from under the head to the end of the bolt), and head width (wrench size). Always refer to engineering drawings or standards. Our technical team can assist with selection based on your load, material, and environmental requirements.
Q: What is the difference between a Grade 8.8 and a 10.9 hex bolt?
A: The grade indicates the bolt's tensile strength. A Grade 10.9 bolt has a higher minimum tensile strength (1040 MPa) and yield strength compared to an 8.8 (830 MPa). The choice depends on the required clamping force and safety factor of your application. Higher grades are used for more critical, high-stress connections.
Q: Can you provide hex bolts with non-standard dimensions or special coatings?
A: Absolutely. We specialize in custom manufacturing for OEM clients. This includes non-standard lengths, diameters, special thread forms, and proprietary coatings like Geomet or Dacromet. Contact us with your specifications for a tailored quote.
Q: What documentation do you provide with shipments?
A> For B2B clients, we provide all necessary commercial documents (invoice, packing list, certificate of origin). Upon request, we can supply material test certificates (MTCs), chemical composition reports, and mechanical property test reports to support your quality control and compliance processes.
Q: What are your minimum order quantities (MOQs)?
A: For standard items in our catalog, MOQs are typically one carton or pallet. For custom-manufactured bolts, MOQs are project-dependent but we strive to be flexible to accommodate both large-scale production runs and smaller prototype orders.
