What is a Machine Bolt?

A Machine Bolt (BOLT,MACHINE) is an externally threaded fastener designed for insertion through holes in assembled parts and normally intended to be tightened or released by torquing a nut. The threaded and unthreaded portions are both of one nominal diameter of 0.190 inch (5 mm) or larger. The head is not designed to be held or driven with an inserted driver or by the thumb and fingers. A locking feature may be incorporated in the design of the head or threads. Head dimensions and sizes of threaded and unthreaded portions shall conform to internationally recognized fastener standards. For items having a grip length portion machined to a tolerance of 0.0015 inch (0.038 mm) or less, BOLT, SHEAR. See also SCREW, CAP, HEXAGON HEAD and SCREW, MACHINE.

What is a Shoulder Bolt?

A Shoulder Bolt (BOLT,SHOULDER) is an externally threaded fastener whose threaded portion is of one nominal diameter, No. 10 (0.190 IN.) (5 mm) or larger. It has a round unthreaded neck or shank all or part of which is of greater diameter than the threaded portion. The head is not designed to be held or driven with an inserted drivers. A locking feature may be incorporated in the design of the head or threads. For items with a thread diameter smaller than No. 10 (0.190 IN.) (5 mm) and those items with an inserted drive head, use SCREW, SHOULDER. For items which are No. 10 (0.190 IN.) (5 mm) or larger in size and are both shouldered and have an externally relieved body, use BOLT, EXTERNALLY RELIEVED BODY. Excludes THUMBSCREW.

Bolts are a type of mechanical fastener designed with external threads. Bolts are used with a nut to join parts together using tightening torque. The torque creates surface pressure between the bolt thread and its mating nut thread. This surface pressure increases the friction between the two threads and this increasing friction makes it increasingly more difficult for the nut to move and release the torque separating the parts again. These fasteners are intended to be inserted through holes that are pre-drilled in the material being joined. Unlike screws, which are also externally threaded fasteners, nuts and bolts work together, meaning that bolts require a nut to be threaded on to it to function properly and require a drilled hole into which the bolt may be inserted.

The terms “bolting” or “types of bolting” are rarely used in connection with bolts in the context of fasteners, these terms being associated more with fabric bolting and bolting machines used in the fabric industry.
