Special alloy square-head positioning bolts

A square head can engage a matching slot to restrain rotation in adjustable fixtures. Slot width, head clearance and locating-shank fit define the interface, while thread length provides the adjustment and clamping range.

Square head with four external flats

Square head

Capture the square head in a matching slot or pocket to stop rotation while tightening from the nut side. Head width and pocket clearance determine how much turning play remains.

Stepped locating shank

Locating shank

Use a machined step or shank to locate fixture plates and adjustable tooling. Specify its fit to the mating bore when repeatable position matters; thread clearance cannot provide that locating accuracy.

Production & heat treatment

CNC · Locating Features

Turning establishes the locating shoulder and milling produces the square head. This route suits short runs where slot width, shoulder fit or adjustment travel changes between fixtures.

Locating Fit & Thread

The shoulder is finished to its locating tolerance independently of the thread. Thread gauges check the adjustment fit, while head width is checked against the slot that restrains rotation.

Cold Heading / Hot Forging

Small square heads in repeat quantities favour cold heading of ductile feedstock. Larger square heads and thick stepped sections favour hot-forged blanks, reducing the force needed to fill the corners before finish machining.

Heat Treatment & Position Accuracy

Ageing strengthens solution-treated Inconel 718 for loaded locating shoulders. Annealing of cold-worked Inconel 625 restores ductility. Close shoulder diameters and concentricity are verified after heating to preserve the intended positioning accuracy.
