Expansion bolts & nuts according to DIN 2510 at alstertaler

Expansion bolts: structure and special features

Compared to conventional variants, expansion bolts are generally designed to be noticeably elastic and stretchable. That’s the reason their traction hardly changes when the joint settles over time. Occurring alternating loads cause the bolt to continue to expand or contract without overstretching, cracking or loosening. Anti-rotation is not necessary. Compared to standard bolts, expansion bolts therefore have a longer shank which is also slimmer than the thread. This shank gives the bolts the required resilient properties and makes them insensitive to temperature changes and other influences.

Common application areas for expansion bolts

Due to their technical specifications, expansion bolts are used wherever strong temperature fluctuations and thermal expansion occur. A classic area of application: engine construction and general mechanical engineering where suitable bolts are indispensable. For example, expansion bolts are used to fasten cylinder heads in internal combustion engines of motor vehicles. They ensure that the cylinder-head gasket is sufficiently compressed at all temperatures encountered during normal operation and the resulting thermal expansion of the cylinder head. Thus, the cylinder-head is able to fulfill its function at all times.
