Bolts

A bolt is a type of threaded hardware fastener that is used to position two work pieces in specific relation to each other. Bolts come in several configurations for their application and specification variances. Successful bolt implementation almost always requires a nut to retain components on the bolt’s axis. Nuts are applied via torque while the bolt itself is held in place, or vice versa. Nut position and bolt employment are dependent upon the same physical principles: the friction of the bolt and nut threads against one another, which is comprised of a slight stretch of the bolt from the compression resistance of the components being fastened, and a slight elastic deformation of the parts held together.
