Custom Specialty Bolts: Precision Fastening Solutions for Every Industry

Created at : Feb 4, 2025

One size does not fit all in fastening solutions. Many industries require custom specialty bolts designed to handle extreme loads, resist corrosion, or offer unique security features. At TS Fasteners, we specialize in providing high-quality custom specialty bolts tailored to meet the diverse needs of industries such as construction, aerospace, automotive, heavy machinery, and marine applications. Our expertise in precision engineering ensures that each bolt is manufactured to exact specifications, delivering durability, reliability, and superior performance.

Types of Custom Specialty Bolts and Their Applications

Structural Bolts: The Backbone of Large-Scale Construction

Structural bolts are engineered for high-strength applications where durability and load-bearing capacity are critical. These bolts are commonly used in steel-to-steel connections in large infrastructure projects, such as bridges, skyscrapers, and industrial buildings. Designed to withstand dynamic loads and resist loosening under vibration, our structural bolts are manufactured with heavy-duty materials and precision threading to meet stringent industry standards.

Shoulder Bolts: Precision in Motion

For applications requiring moving parts, shoulder bolts (also known as stripper bolts) are the ideal solution. Featuring a smooth, unthreaded shoulder section, these bolts are designed for machinery components, pivoting linkages, and pulleys, where a bearing surface is necessary. Industries such as automotive, robotics, and manufacturing rely on these bolts to maintain precise mechanical function while minimizing friction and wear.

Hex Flange Bolts: Enhanced Load Distribution

Hex flange bolts are a superior fastening solution for applications that demand high clamping force and vibration resistance. Their integrated washer-like flange helps distribute pressure evenly, reducing the risk of loosening in high-vibration environments. Commonly found in automotive engines, heavy machinery, and agricultural equipment, these bolts ensure long-lasting performance, even under extreme conditions.

Carriage Bolts: Secure and Aesthetic Fastening

Carriage bolts are known for their rounded heads and square necks, preventing them from spinning when tightened. They are widely used in woodworking, fencing, and metal framework, offering a clean and secure fastening option. With their smooth, dome-shaped heads, they provide an aesthetically pleasing finish while ensuring reliable fastening for structures such as playground equipment, furniture, and railroad applications.

Plow Bolts: Heavy-Duty Performance in Harsh Environments

Designed for heavy machinery and agricultural equipment, plow bolts feature a flat or domed head with a square or elliptical neck to sit flush with surfaces. These bolts are commonly used in bulldozers, graders, and plows, where durability is essential to withstand repeated impact and harsh working conditions. TS Fasteners offers custom plow bolts designed to meet the demanding needs of the construction, mining, and farming industries.

Security Bolts: Protecting High-Value Assets

Security is a top priority in industries where preventing unauthorized access or tampering is critical. Tamper-resistant security bolts from TS Fasteners feature unique head designs, such as one-way, Torx, and hex-pin, requiring specialized tools for installation and removal. These bolts are commonly used in public infrastructure, security fencing, ATM enclosures, and aerospace applications, providing an added layer of protection against theft or vandalism.

Tension Control (TC) Bolts: Consistent Clamping for Structural Integrity

In large-scale steel construction, maintaining the correct clamping force is essential for safety and stability. Tension control (TC) bolts are designed to be tightened until they reach a predetermined tension, ensuring uniform strength in high-rise buildings, bridges, and stadiums. These bolts feature a breakaway spline that guarantees accurate torque, making them a preferred choice in the construction industry.

U-Bolts: Secure Clamping for Pipes and Round Objects

TS Fasteners provides custom U-bolts, which are essential for securing pipes, poles, and tubing in industries such as automotive, plumbing, HVAC, and marine applications. These U-shaped bolts provide exceptional holding power, making them ideal for securing exhaust systems, suspension components, and industrial piping.

Anchor Bolts: Stability for Foundations and Heavy Equipment

Anchor bolts play a crucial role in securing buildings, machinery, and wind turbines to concrete foundations. Available in various styles such as J-bolts, L-bolts, and wedge bolts, these fasteners ensure that heavy structures remain firmly in place, even in seismic conditions. The construction, renewable energy, and infrastructure industries rely on TS Fasteners’ custom anchor bolts to meet their specific load-bearing requirements.

Eyebolts: Lifting and Rigging Solutions

Eyebolts provide secure attachment points for ropes, cables, and lifting hardware, making them indispensable in material handling and rigging applications. Used in construction, marine, and warehouse logistics, these bolts ensure safe lifting and load distribution. TS Fasteners offers high-strength, corrosion-resistant eyebolts for both general-purpose and heavy-duty lifting operations.

Custom Specialty Bolt Materials for Optimal Performance

At TS Fasteners, we understand that different industries require bolts made from specific materials to ensure strength, corrosion resistance, and longevity. Our specialty bolts are available in a variety of materials, including:

  • Stainless Steel – Ideal for marine, outdoor, and high-moisture environments due to its corrosion-resistant properties.
  • Alloy Steel – High-strength and durable, used in structural and heavy machinery applications.
  • Titanium – Lightweight and exceptionally strong, commonly used in aerospace and medical applications.
  • Brass or Bronze – Non-sparking and corrosion-resistant, ideal for electrical and marine industries.
