With a commitment to quality and reliability, we provide the right fasteners to ensure secure, long-lasting connections in any project.
Understanding Metric Bolts
Metric bolts are standardized fasteners that follow the metric measurement system, making them ideal for applications that require precise engineering. Unlike imperial bolts, which are measured in inches, metric bolts are classified by their diameter, thread pitch, and length, all measured in millimeters. This level of standardization makes them widely used in international markets and industries requiring consistent, high-quality fastening solutions.
A typical metric bolt is designated as M followed by its diameter in millimeters. For example, an M8 x 1.25 x 50 bolt has an 8mm diameter, a thread pitch of 1.25mm, and a length of 50mm. TS Fasteners carries a wide range of sizes to accommodate both common and specialized applications.
Strength and Material Options
At TS Fasteners, we supply metric bolts in various strength grades to suit different load requirements. The most commonly used strength classes include:
- Class 8.8 – Medium-carbon steel, heat-treated for durability, commonly used in structural and automotive applications.
- Class 10.9 – High-strength steel, ideal for demanding applications in heavy machinery and industrial equipment.
- Class 12.9 – Ultra-high-strength bolts, used in critical load-bearing structures and high-performance machinery.
In addition to steel fasteners, TS Fasteners also offers metric bolts in stainless steel, brass, and other corrosion-resistant materials, ensuring durability in harsh environments such as marine, outdoor, and chemical applications.
Versatile Head Styles for Every Application
We understand that different applications require different bolt designs. That’s why TS Fasteners stocks a variety of metric bolt head types, including:
- Hex Head Bolts – A standard option for most industrial and construction uses.
- Socket Head (Allen) Bolts – Designed for tight spaces where wrench clearance is limited.
- Flange Head Bolts – With an integrated washer, these bolts provide better load distribution and reduce the need for separate washers.
- Countersunk (Flat Head) Bolts – Ideal for flush mounting in aerospace, automotive, and precision engineering applications.
