Hexagon shear bolt

El proceso de estampado en frío es uno de los nuevos procesos de mecanizado a presión de menor o ningún corte
metal. Es un método de transformación que utiliza la deformación plástica del metal bajo la acción de
fuerzas externas y, con ayuda de moldes, redistribuye y transfiere el volumen de metal para formar
las piezas o formatos necesarios. El proceso de estampación en frío es el más adecuado para producir piezas estándar.
elementos de fijación como pernos, tornillos, tuercas, remaches, pasadores, etc.

Hexagonal Pernos de cizallamiento – Description & Functionality

Hexagonal shear bolts are specialized fasteners designed for tamper-resistant and security-critical applications. They feature a unique breakaway design that prevents unauthorized removal once installed.

Características principales

1. Hexagonal Head Design

   • Standard 6-sided head for easy installation using a wrench or socket.

   • Made to shear off at a predetermined torque, leaving no gripping surface.

   • Hexagon shear bolt

2. Shear Mechanism

   • The head is engineered to romper once the bolt reaches its specified tightening torque.

   • After shearing, only a smooth, cylindrical shank remains, making removal difficult without specialized tools.

3. Threaded Shank & Tail

   • En protruding tail (excess length) may be cut flush for safety and aesthetics.

4. Material & Hardness

   • Normalmente se fabrica con hardened steel (grade 8.8, 10.9, or stainless steel).

   • Resists drilling, cutting, and tampering.

5. Security Benefits

   • Tamper-proof: No exposed head after installation.

   • Vandal-resistant: Difficult to remove without destructive methods.

   • Controlled installation: Ensures proper clamping force.

How Hexagonal Shear Bolts Work

1. Installation

   • Inserted into a pre-drilled hole and tightened with a wrench.

   • At the precise torque, the hexagonal head snaps off.

2. Removal (If Required)

   • Requires special extraction tools (e.g., left-hand drill bits, bolt extractors).

   • Often necessitates drilling or grinding.

Aplicaciones comunes

• Traffic & infrastructure: Street signs, traffic lights, railway tracks.

• Public utilities: Electrical enclosures, meter boxes.

• Security systems: Bollards, fencing, access panels.

• Heavy machinery & automotive: Critical assemblies requiring tamper resistance.
