Shear bolt tapered tail

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.

Tapered tail shear bolts are specialized fasteners designed to fail at a predetermined torque or shear load, protecting machinery from overload damage. Here’s a detailed description:

Características principales:

1. Tapered Tail Design

   • The bolt has a conical (tapered) section near the head or along the shank, which creates a stress concentration point.

   • This taper ensures controlled shearing under excessive force, preventing damage to connected components.

   • Shear bolt tapered tail

2. Shear Functionality

   • Engineered to break at a specific shear load, acting as a mechanical fuse.

   • Commonly used in power transmission systems (e.g., augers, conveyors, PTO shafts) to protect against jams or overloads.

3. Materials & Strength

   • Typically made from medium-carbon steel or alloy steel, heat-treated for consistent shear strength.

   • Some versions are zinc-plated or coated for corrosion resistance.

4. Tipos de cabeza

   • May feature hex heads, flange heads, or other drive styles for easy installation.

   • Often marked with grade identifiers (e.g., “Grade 2” or shear load ratings).

5. Aplicaciones

   • Agricultural machinery (combine harvesters, tillers).

   • Industrial equipment (conveyors, crushers).

   • Automotive and aerospace systems requiring overload protection.

   • Shear bolt tapered tail

Ventajas:

• Prevents costly equipment damage by shearing before mechanical failure occurs.

• Easy replacement post-failure, minimizing downtime.

• Precision-engineered shear points ensure reliability.

Common Standards:

• DIN, ISO, or OEM-specific specifications for dimensions and shear strength.
