SIZE RANGE |
GENERAL INFORMATION |
Cap Screws |
Steel (Grade 2) |
1/4" x 1/2" to 1-1/2" x 8" |
Grade 2, low-carbon bright. Minimum tensile strength
of 74000 psi in diameters through 3/4", and 60000 psi for diameters over 3/4"
through 1-1/2". Grade 2 is not recommended for use with fine
threads. |
Cap Screws |
Steel (Grade 5) |
1/4" x 1/2" to 1-1/2" x 8" |
Grade 5, medium-carbon heat-treated in a carbon controlled atmosphere. Minimum
tensile strength of 120,000 psi in diameters through 1", and 105,000 psi for
diameters over 1" through 1-1/2". Grade 5 will also meet other specifications
such as ASTM A449. |
Cap Screws |
Steel (Grade 8) |
1/4" x 1/2" to 1" x 7" |
Grade 8, alloy, heat-treated in a carbon controlled atmosphere. Minimum
tensile strength of 150,000 psi. Grade 8 will also meet ASTM A354 Grade BD. |
Carriage |
Low Carbon Steel |
1/4" x 1/2" to 3/4" x 10" |
Originally used in the assembly of carriages, these bolts are now primarily
used in woodworking applications where a round head of minimum height is required. |
Carriage - Shaker Screen |
High Carbon Steel, Heat Treated |
1/2 x 1-1/2" to 3/4" x 6" |
Fully threaded carriage bolts. |
Dowel Screws |
Steel, Brass, Stainless Steel |
3/16" x 1" to 3/8" x 30" |
|
Elevator |
Steel |
1/4" x 3/4" to 3/8" x 3" |
Also known as belt bolts, elevator bolts have the largest diameter heads of
all flush-head types. They are used primarily in industrial belting systems where head
clearances must be minimal. |
Hanger |
Steel, Brass, Stainless Steel |
3/16" x 1" to 3/8" x 6" |
|
Hex Bolts |
Steel |
1/4" x 1/2" to 2" x 8" |
Hex bolts are offered with UNRC-2A threads. Heat treated carbon or alloy steel
are available from cap-screw stock. |
Hex Bolts - Heavy |
Steel |
1/2" x 1" to 1-1/2" x 8" |
Head dimensions are approximately 1/8" wider across the flats than the
standard hex bolt. It is generally used for applications where maximum bearing area is
required. |
Lag Screws - Hex & Square |
Steel |
1/4" x 1" to 3/4" x 12" |
Hex head lag screws are identical in all respects to square lag screws except
for head dimensions. |
Plow - Standard |
Medium carbon steel, quenched & tempered |
5/16" x to 1" x |
Albany Steel stocks one standard
type of plow bolt: the No. 3 with round countersunk head and square neck. |
Plow - Dome Head |
Steel (Grade 8) |
5/16" x to 1" x |
Dome head plow bolts put extra metal at the wearing surface where it's needed.
They give added life to the assembly by resisting shock and abrasion. |
Square |
Steel (Grades 2,5,8) and A193-B7 |
1/4" x 1/2" to 1-1/2" x 8" |
Some customers prefer bolts with
square heads, particularly for applications where the use of power tools is impractical or undesirable. For such applications,
square bolts offer greater bearing area for more positive gripping with a hand wrench. |
Square - Heavy |
Steel (Grades 2,5,8) and A193-B7 |
1/4" x 1/2" to 1-1/2" x 8" |
Some customers prefer bolts with square
heads, particularly for applications where the use of power tools is impractical or undesirable. For such applications,
square bolts offer greater bearing area for more positive gripping with a hand wrench. |
Step |
Steel |
1/4" x 5/8" to 1/2" x 6" |
|
Structural A325 TYPE 1 |
Medium carbon steel |
1/2" x 1-1/4" to 1-1/4" x 8" |
Our fastener plants produce and stock a complete line of high-strength
structural fasteners. They include bolts, nuts and washers to specification A325 Type 1
and Type 3 (Weath-R), and also to A490 specification requirements. |
Structural A490 & A325 TYPE 3 |
Steel with atmospheric corrosion resistance |
5/8" x 1-1/2" to 1-1/4" x 8" |
Our fastener plants produce and stock a complete line of high-strength
structural fasteners. They include bolts, nuts and washers to specification A325 Type 1
and Type 3 (Weath-R), and also to A490 specification requirements. |
Tap |
Steel (Grades 2,5,8) |
1/4" x 1/2" to 3/4" x 6" |
Tap bolts are untreated hex bolts with longer than standard threads (UNRC-2A)
to allow for extra or variable take-up in metalworking applications. |
