T-slot bolts, designated by the DIN186 standard, are bolts specifically designed for use in T-slots. These bolts are characterized by a T-shaped head that fits into the T-slot of an aluminum extrusion profile or similar material, providing a secure and flush connection. The GB37/DIN186 standard defines the specifications and dimensions for these bolts.
Material: including carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel (such as 304, 316, 316L, etc.) and other materials, the specific selection depends on the working environment and application requirements.
Grade: The product grade different mechanical properties grade (such as 4.8 grade, 8.8 grade, 10.9 grade,A2-70, etc.), these grades reflect the tensile strength, yield strength and other mechanical properties of the bolt. Different grades are suitable for different load bearing requirements and working environments.
Advantage:
Flush Mounting: The T-head design allows the bolt to sit flush with the surface, offering a clean and streamlined appearance.Easy Installation: They can be easily inserted and tightened into T-slots without additional tools or hardware.High Clamping Force: They provide strong clamping force for a rigid connection between components.Corrosion Resistance: When made from stainless steel (304/316), they offer increased protection against corrosion, making them suitable for outdoor and harsh environments.Load Distribution: The T-head design ensures even load distribution, reducing the risk of damage to the connected parts.
Scope of
Application
Aluminum Framing: Commonly used in the construction of aluminum frames for machinery, exhibits, and structures.Industrial Machinery: Employed in machinery frames and equipment where a flush finish and secure fastening are required.Solar Mounting Systems: Used in solar panel mounting systems for securing panels to racks or structures.Racking Systems: Ideal for use in storage racking systems where a secure and adjustable connection is needed.Automotive and Aerospace: Utilized in the assembly of vehicles and aircraft where weight savings and corrosion resistance are important.
