Bolt Assembly
The assembly consists of three standard fastening components:
Bolt – A long hex-head bolt made of steel, fully threaded along its shaft. The threads show signs of rust, indicating outdoor or prolonged industrial use. It provides the main fastening strength.
Nut – A hexagonal steel nut with an internal thread that matches the bolt’s threading. It is used to secure the bolt in place by tightening against the workpiece.
Washer – A flat, circular steel washer with a central hole sized to fit the bolt. The washer distributes the load evenly across the surface, preventing damage to the material and reducing loosening caused by vibration.
Assembly Function
When assembled, the washer is placed between the nut (or bolt head) and the surface of the material being fastened. The bolt passes through the workpiece, and the nut is tightened onto the threads. This creates a strong, stable, and durable fastening system widely used in construction, machinery, furniture, and automotive applications.
