truss head bolt
A truss head bolt represents a specialized fastening solution characterized by its distinctive wide, low-profile head design and flat bearing surface. This innovative fastener combines the structural integrity of traditional bolts with enhanced load distribution capabilities, making it particularly valuable in applications where a larger bearing surface is essential. The truss head's unique geometry features a slightly domed top with a large diameter head, typically 1.5 to 2 times wider than standard hex bolt heads. These bolts are manufactured using various materials, including stainless steel, carbon steel, and brass, offering different levels of corrosion resistance and strength properties. The design enables the bolt to distribute pressure more evenly across the surface of the material being fastened, reducing the risk of material damage or distortion. Common applications include woodworking, furniture assembly, automotive components, and machinery construction where aesthetic appearance and structural integrity are equally important. The truss head bolt's versatility is further enhanced by its compatibility with multiple drive types, including Phillips, slotted, and combination drives, facilitating easy installation and removal.
