Stainless steel U-bolts, also known as U-shaped bolts due to their distinctive shape, are non-standard components primarily utilized for securing pipe fittings or reinforcing automotive structures. The name "horseshoe bolts" comes from the resemblance to a person riding a horse when clamping objects. The curvature of the U-bolt is crucial, requiring a natural arc that aligns with the diameter of the installation, snugly encasing the pipe to be fixed. These bolts find extensive applications across various industries including construction, automotive, maritime, bridge and tunnel construction, and telecommunications equipment installation.
Materials for U-bolts include stainless steel grades such as 304, 316, 201, high-temperature resistant 310S, corrosion-resistant SUS316L for deep-sea applications, among others. Each material can undergo surface treatments according to specific environmental requirements or customer preferences.
U-bolts come in various shapes including semi-circular, square right angle, and V-shaped, with considerations for bending strength, impact toughness, compression strength, modulus of elasticity, tensile strength, and temperature resistance.
Customization is predominant for U-bolts, and Dongguan Baolu Hardware Co., Ltd. can manufacture and develop products based on customer drawings or samples. Materials such as 304, 316, A3, 316L, 2205, 310S, and threads meeting DIN, GB, ANSI standards, with specifications ranging from M3 to M20, are available for customization. Both coarse-threaded Type A and fine-threaded Type B can be customized.
A limited quantity of semi-circular U-bolts is available in stock for immediate purchase.
