Head Dimensions of Hexagon Socket Head Bolts and Hexagon Bolts [Comparison Table].

August 23, 2018

 

Today, we are going to discuss the "Comparison Table of Head Dimensions of Hexagon Socket Head Bolts and Hexagon BoltsHere is a note about "The

 

  • Hexagon socket head size of bolt / Knowing the applicable dimensions of hexagonal wrenches
  • Hexagonal bolt head size / Knowing the applicable size of spanner
  • For understanding at the time of design

 

We have created a document that can be used for

Bolt head dimensions

As soon as possible, a table of dimensions is provided below.

 

Use for hexagon socket head boltsFor hexagonal wrench sizes, use dimension "S" in the table at left. and use it for hexagonal bolts.For spanner size, use "S" in the table on the right. (Hexagonal bolts have both standard and small diameters, so refer to both. (Hexagonal bolts are available in standard and small diameters, so please refer to both.)

Reference: Hexagonal wrench for hexagon socket head bolts

For reference, note the hex wrench for hexagon socket head bolts. Tools that can remove hexagon socket head bolts arehexagonal bar wrench but there are just so many types. What kind of things are there?

 

  • Available for individual purchase by size (individual purchase can be expensive).
  • Some are sets (most sizes are available).
  • Color identification by size (good to prevent mixing with others) or
  • There are short and long types (short ones hurt my fingers).
  • There is a tip ball type (also available at an angle)
  • There are convenient handles for tightening and removing hard screws (for smooth assembly).

 

In other words, many people do not know which of these tools to buy. Among them, I personally recommendSet, with ball tip, color identification, long type, with handle The hexagonal bar wrench of the "A" type. If you are not concerned about the manufacturer, this is sufficient.

 

 

 

Reference: Spanner for hexagonal bolt

Next, also note the wrench for the hexagonal bolt. The tools used to remove the hexagonal bolt arehexagon spanner but there are also many types of wrenches.

 

  • There are millimeter and inch sizes (if you get this wrong, you can't use it correctly).
  • Different sizes on each side (different sizes are more compact overall).
  • There are wrenches with slippery surfaces (slippery tools are prone to slipping due to oil, etc.)
  • Or in a case (which I prefer).

 

In other words, you may be wondering which spanner to buy. When disassembling and reassembling Japanese products in Japan, "millimeter size" wrenches are used. Among those "millimeter size" wrenches, I recommend the followingMillimeter size, set of frequently used sizes, double-ended wrench, moderately rough surface, and with a built-in holder It is. Please refer to.
