Six-lobe Cylindrical Head Bolt

Size: 6*36

Grade: 10

Material: 10b21

Finish: Black, Heat treatment

Key Features:

1. Six-Lobe Drive:

   • The six-lobe drive is a star-shaped pattern with six points, designed to maximize torque transmission and reduce the risk of cam-out (slippage of the tool from the fastener).
   • This drive type allows for higher torque than traditional drives like Phillips or slotted screws and prevents tool wear and damage to both the driver and fastener.

2. Cylindrical Head:

   • The cylindrical head is characterized by a smooth, straight-sided design, making it ideal for applications where a low-profile or flush fastening is needed.
   • The head is typically compact and unobtrusive, providing a clean and sleek finish to the assembly, ideal for industries like electronics, automotive, and appliances.
   • The cylindrical shape ensures even load distribution over the material being fastened, which helps prevent material damage and maintains a strong hold.

3. Material:

   • Steel: Commonly used for standard applications, offering strength, durability, and resistance to wear.
   • Stainless Steel: For corrosion resistance in environments exposed to moisture or chemicals (e.g., marine, food processing).
   • Alloy Steel: Used for high-strength applications, often heat-treated for additional strength and hardness.
   • Brass or Aluminum: Used when weight reduction or non-corrosive properties are required, such as in electrical applications.

4. Size and Thread Type:

   • These bolts are available in both metric and imperial sizes, typically ranging from M3 to M12 or larger.
   • They come with various thread options, including coarse and fine threads, depending on the application requirements.
   • The length varies to accommodate different fastening depths, with options for both shallow and deeper threads.

5. Coatings and Finishes:

   • Zinc Plating: Common for rust and corrosion resistance.
   • Black Oxide: Provides a black finish with mild corrosion resistance and improves durability.
   • Anodized (for aluminum): Increases corrosion resistance and aesthetic finish.
   • Galvanized: Offers robust protection against corrosion in outdoor or industrial environments.

Common Applications:

1. Electronics: In devices like computers, smartphones, or other consumer electronics where a compact, tamper-resistant fastening solution is needed.
2. Automotive: For fastening interior panels or parts where a sleek, secure connection is important.
3. Furniture: Often used in modular or flat-pack furniture, where a flush, secure fastener is needed for assembly.
4. Industrial Equipment: Used in machinery where secure, high-torque fastening is needed in tight or constrained spaces.
5. Appliance Assembly: For securing panels or components in appliances like washing machines, microwaves, and refrigerators.

Advantages:

• Tamper Resistance: The six-lobe drive resists cam-out and tampering, making it suitable for high-security or high-torque applications.
• Flush Finish: The cylindrical head provides a clean, low-profile finish, perfect for tight spaces or where aesthetics matter.
• High-Torque Application: The design allows for the application of higher torque without stripping or damaging the fastener.
