Feature and Uses of Plow Bolts


DIC Fasteners is an Exporters of Plow Bolts in India. Plows are a special type of fastener used to create mechanical bearings that require a smooth surface from which the bolt heads can effectively pop out. These fasteners got their name because they were used to make plows in ancient times. Today, their applications have also extended to other fields.

Today, they are used in heavy construction machinery such as graders, snow plows, and shovels. These rivets are usually exposed to wear and tear, so it's always important to choose the right type of bolt that's best for your job. As we all know about the undying love between nuts and bolts, how can a plow bolt work without a nut.

Plow Bolts, also known as carriage bolts, are most often used when the protruding surface of the bolt head needs to be smooth. Previously they were only used in plows, and that is why they got that name. Today they are used in different applications.

Many heavy-duty accessories require the use of these types of bolts. A snow plow is one such example, as its powerful blade makes a smooth surface against the pavement to remove the snow. If the ends of the bolts are not flat, they can threaten the ground and wear much faster.



These bolt has a huge head at one end and a barrel-shaped shaft with an external thread at the other end. This is a round bar that allows the nut to move forward as it turns. The head of the rivet is recessed and the neck is square and short to prevent the object from tipping over when the nut is fastened. The nut, on the other hand, is hexagonal and has an internally threaded hole that best matches the thread of the plow bolt.

Plow bolts are available in a variety of metric and standard sizes. The pattern and size of such fasteners are highly dependent on the type of environment in which they are intended to be used.

They are made of stainless steel, carbon steel, and various metal alloys to ensure high wear resistance. The material used is often heat treated or hardened, which improves wear resistance, and extends the life of the bolt.
