The different types of ring bolts
An essential component in many industrial applications, ring bolts offer exceptional strength and vibration resistance, making them an essential choice for a variety of sectors. In this article, we explore the different variants of these bolts and their specific applications.
Standard ring structural bolts
The Riv-Elit® standard structural bolt with ring consists of a shank and a ring. Its robust construction and high mechanical properties make it the fastener of choice for applications exposed to vibration. It is important to note that installation requires access from both sides of the bracket.
The rod can also be used in conjunction with a ring with a base plate, providing effective load distribution. This feature is crucial in many applications, including steel construction, building, sheet metal assembly, bodywork, railway equipment, trailer manufacture, ventilation, the automotive industry, as well as gates and fences.
Structural bolts with rings are available in aluminium, steel and stainless steel.
Structural bolts with multi-clamping rings
The Riv-Elit® structural bolt with multi-clamping ring consists of a shank. Its technology enables it to adapt to a wide range of tightening torques with a break in the flange in the ring. It can replace up to 4 lengths of structural bolt with ring from the standard range, while offering the same mechanical values of plating, pull-out and shear. This fastening solution guarantees the highest level of vibration resistance.
Riv-Elit® structural bolts with multi-clamping rings provide permanent, secure fastening. They are available in aluminium and steel in diameters of 4.8 and 6.4 mm.
Structural bolts with rings for securing counterplates and poly ceilings
Structural bolts with rings for assembling composite panels offer exceptional shear strength. These structural bolts are made from high-quality steel. The sealing washer under the head of the bolt ensures that the bolt is watertight and splash-proof. Polyfond structural bolts also require access from both sides of the support. They are particularly used in the manufacture of van and refrigerated truck semi-trailers.
Screw-in structural bolts with rings for securing backplates and poly ceilings
Structural bolts with screw-in rings are made up of two screwable parts and are designed for fastening plywood and polycarbonate panels. They are particularly used in the manufacture of van trailers and refrigerated lorries. These structural bolts offer high shear and tensile strength, while guaranteeing a watertight seal. They are easy to fit using a screwdriver.
Note : these structural bolts with rings also require access on both sides of the support.
They are available in steel, guaranteeing a robust fixing for demanding applications.
In conclusion, Riv-Elit® structural bolts are high-performance fasteners suitable for a multitude of industrial applications. Their resistance to vibration, their ability to distribute forces and their availability in different configurations make them a wise choice for increasing the strength and durability of assemblies. Whatever your application, they offer a reliable fastening solution to meet your specific needs.
