A stud bolt is a mechanical fastener having external threads without a head. The external thread is either for the full length of the stud or partially threaded from each end. It uses at least two nuts, one on each side for assembly connection. Stud bolts are available in various sizes, types, and threading patterns.
Types of Stud Bolts
Depending on the threading pattern and design, various types of stud bolts are available as listed below:
Fully threaded stud bolt or continuous threaded stud bolt having uniform thread throughout its length.
Tap end stud bolts having unequal threads from each end and non-threaded center.
Double-end stud bolts having both ends threaded of equal lengths and a non-threaded center.
Flange Stud bolts: Fully threaded stud bolts with chamfered ends specifically used for flanged connections.
Double-end stud bolt with reduced shank: the non-threaded center part is of a reduced diameter than the actual diameter.
