Benefits of electroplating

The electroplating of this bolt provides a protective layer that prevents corrosion. This is especially important in environments where metal parts are exposed to moisture and other corrosive elements, such as in cars.

Applications in the automotive sector

This hex bolt is ideal for:

• Fastening engine components
• Mounting chassis components
• Installing suspension systems

Thanks to the UNF thread and Grade 5 strength class, this bolt is suitable for applications where high tensile strength is required.

Compatibility and installation

The bolt complies with the DIN 931 standard and is compatible with nuts and other fasteners with UNF thread. The hex head allows the bolt to be easily tightened with standard tools, making installation easier.

Maintenance and durability

Although the electroplating provides good protection against corrosion, it is recommended to regularly inspect the bolts for signs of wear or damage, especially in harsh conditions. Timely maintenance extends the lifespan and maintains the reliability of the fastening.

Important considerations

When choosing fasteners, it is crucial to select the correct specifications that fit the application. This hex bolt offers the strength and durability needed for demanding automotive applications.
