HINGE BOLT

A HINGE BOLT is a special shaft-type fastener designed for rotating, opening-and-closing, or articulated mechanisms. It can integrate threaded sections, smooth shanks, shoulders, and positioning features. Once assembled, it serves as a pivot point for moving components, while nuts, washers, bushings, or friction elements can be used to control clearance and rotational resistance.

Provides a Stable Pivot Point

The smooth shaft section serves as the rotational center of the connected component, helping maintain its position and intended path of movement. This makes the HINGE BOLT suitable for opening-and-closing and articulated mechanisms.

Combines Pivoting and Fastening Functions

A single HINGE BOLT can provide both shaft support and threaded fastening, reducing the need for separate pivot pins and additional connecting components.

Allows Rotational Clearance to Be Controlled

Assembly clearance can be adjusted through the shoulder, washers, bushings, and fastening depth, helping achieve smoother and more stable rotational movement.

Supports Special Structural Designs

Stepped shafts, angled holes, cross holes, grooves, or anti-rotation flats can be incorporated according to mechanism requirements, allowing the HINGE BOLT to be used with springs, retaining pins, and linkages.

Suitable for Various Moving Mechanisms

HINGE BOLTS are commonly used in hinges, brackets, seats, covers, robotic arms, automotive and motorcycle components, and automation equipment.
