wafer head bolts

The diameter of a foundation bolt is a primary consideration, as it determines the bolt's load-bearing capacity. Larger diameter bolts can withstand greater loads, making them suitable for heavier structures. The length of the bolt, another key factor, is calculated based on the depth of the foundation and the thickness of the connected component. Length also affects the bolt's grip, which is the portion of the bolt that is clamped between the connected parts.

Washer head machine screws are characterized by their broad, flat heads that resemble a washer. This design provides a larger bearing surface than standard screws, which helps distribute the load more evenly across the material being fastened. The head’s geometry often includes a recessed area for a driver, facilitating easy installation and removal. Additionally, these screws are typically made from high-strength materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, or alloy steel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion and wear.
