Bolts grip and distribute differently, depending on variables such as thread pitch, head size and, of course, whether the bolt is fully or partially threaded. To ensure proper grip and resistance to breakage, itâs important to use a bolt that meets the original engineering specs. Full vs. Partial Threads. To understand how these bolts grip differently, itâs important to understand the basic differences in their designs. Fully Threaded Metric Bolts: These bolts have threads running the full length of the bolt, from the underside of the head to the tip.
A thread is a ridge of uniform section in the form of a helix on the internal or external surface of a cylinder (IFI description) or it could be described as a sloping plane curled around a cylinder. External threads are on bolts or screws. Internal threads are on nuts. There are many forms of threads but two types are in common use on fasteners. Machine Screw Threads - used on bolts, setscrews, machine screws and designed to mate with preformed threads in nuts or tapped holes.
