WSP Forming Ph Hex Bolt

Description

HBS Fasteners offers the WSP Forming Phillips Hex Bolt, a specialized fastener that combines the strength of a hex head with the convenience of a Phillips drive. The integrated Washer Support Plate (WSP) provides an extra-wide bearing surface to prevent material deformation, while the thread-forming design allows the bolt to roll its own threads into ductile materials. This eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, significantly reducing production costs and assembly time.

Technical Specifications

• Drive Type: Dual-drive system featuring a Hexagonal head for wrenching and a Phillips (+) drive for high-speed screwdriver installation.

• Washer Type: Integrated Washer Support Plate (WSP) for maximum surface contact and clamping force.

• Point Style: Thread-forming (Tri-lobular or Pointed) to displace material and create a vibration-resistant fit.

• Size Range: Available in standard metric diameters from M3 to M10.

• Head Style: Hex head with a flat top and Phillips recess.

Material & Quality Excellence

• Stainless Steel: Available in high-grade Austenitic (A2, A4) and specialized heat-treated Martensitic grades for thread-forming strength.

• Other Materials: Produced in high-tensile Mild Steel and Alloy Steel.

• Manufacturing Control: Produced using raw materials from our in-house wire drawing facility, ensuring the precise hardness required for effective thread forming.

• Surface Finishing: Options include Zinc Plating, Nickel Plating, Black Finish, and Passivation for enhanced corrosion resistance.

Key Application Areas

• Automotive: Ideal for chassis assembly, seating components, and sheet metal attachments where high torque is required.

• Electrical Panels: Used in heavy-duty switchgear and control cabinets to ensure ground continuity and secure fastening.

• Consumer Appliances: A standard choice for the structural assembly of washing machines, refrigerators, and other large appliances.

• Industrial Construction: Perfect for securing metal-to-metal joints in HVAC systems and metal framing.
