What Is A U-bolt? What Are The Wide Uses Of U-bolts?

 U-bolts, a type of fastener, are common in the eyes of the fastener industry, but many people have seen them for the first time in their daily lives. As the "senior" in the fastener industry, what are the unique features of U-bolts? Today, Xiaorui will take everyone to learn more.

Basic information of U-bolts:

Product name: U-shaped bolt, also known as U-shaped bolt due to its shape. It has threads at both ends that can be combined with nuts and is mainly used to fix tubular objects such as water pipes or sheet materials such as automotive leaf springs.

Nickname: horseback bolt, U-shaped screw, U-shaped pipe clamp, U-shaped pipe clamp

Production standard: manufactured strictly in accordance with JB/ZQ4321-1997 national regulations and standards.

Product grade: 4.86.88.810.9

Surface treatment: blackening, yellow zinc plating, white zinc plating, hot dip galvanizing, hot dip galvanizing, dacromet plating

Practical use: mainly used for fixing tubular objects such as water pipes or sheet-like objects such as automotive leaf spring construction and installation, connecting mechanical accessories, vehicles, ships, bridges, tunnels, railways, etc. Main shapes: semicircle, square right angle, triangle, oblique triangle, etc.

Product material: carbon steel Q235A? Q345B? Alloy steel stainless steel

The relevant information about U-bolts allows us to better understand U-bolts:

1. Material characteristics, density, bending strength, impact toughness, compressive strength, elastic modulus, tensile strength, temperature resistance, and color are determined based on the usage environment.

2. Commonly used materials include carbon steel Q235A Q345B alloy steel, stainless steel, etc. Among them, stainless steel materials include 201, 304, 321, 304L, 316, and 316L.

3. National standard for U-bolts: JB/ZQ4321-2006.

4. Material

U-shaped bolts are divided into carbon steel Q235, Q345 alloy steel, stainless steel 201, 304, 316, etc. by material, which is the difference between carbon steel and stainless steel

Is the process of processing and manufacturing U-bolts complex? Let's search for why the above U-bolts can be applied in such a wide range of fields based on the process of U-bolts?

The processing process of U-shaped bolts is generally divided into cold bending and hot bending, while U-shaped bolts, also known as horseback bolts, are non-standard components with a U-shaped shape, also known as U-bolts. They have threads at both ends that can be combined with nuts and are mainly used to fix tubular objects such as water pipes or sheet objects such as car springs. Due to the way they are fixed like a person riding a horse, they are called horseback bolts.

The U-shaped is generally used on trucks to stabilize the chassis and frame of the vehicle. For example, steel plate springs are connected with U-bolts. U-bolts have a wide range of applications, including construction installation, mechanical accessory connection, vehicles and ships, bridges, tunnels, railways, etc. Main shapes: semicircle, square right angle, triangle, oblique triangle, etc.

U-shaped bolts are often used in installation and fixation, and can be used to fix wires or connect two fixing components. In the production equipment of the workshop, U-bolts are often used. When making U-shaped bolts, a baffle plate and a square steel block are usually used to bend a long bolt into a U-shaped shape. However, due to the fact that the bolts are made of steel during the bending process, it takes a lot of force to bend them into a U-shape. The previous baffle was just a steel plate, and during the bending process, it was subjected to a lot of force, which easily deformed and tilted outward, affecting its use.

Summary: There are indeed many U-bolts in our daily lives, and U-bolts do make our lives full of convenience. For example, the U-bolts used in small curtains like small clips, and the U-bolts used in our transportation tools, are generally used for shock absorption U-bolts.

In addition to U-bolts, Jinrui also has various formats of bolts for everyone to choose from, customized by the factory, and there is always one bolt that suits you.
