Shear bolts nickel plated

Cold heading process is one of the new processes for pressure machining of less or no cutting
metal. It is a processing method that utilizes the plastic deformation of metal under the action of
external forces, and with the aid of molds, redistributes and transfers the volume of metal to form
the required parts or blanks. The cold heading process is most suitable for producing standard
fasteners such as bolts, screws, nuts, rivets, and pins.etc

General Description of Nickel-Plated Shear Bolts

Nickel-plated shear bolts are specialized fasteners designed to break (shear) at a predetermined torque or load, protecting machinery from damage caused by excessive force or jams. The nickel plating provides corrosion resistance, durability, and a smooth surface, making them ideal for harsh environments.

Key Characteristics:

• Shear Function: Intentionally designed to fail at a specific load, preventing damage to gears, augers, drivelines, and other mechanical components.

• Nickel Plating: Offers superior rust and corrosion resistance compared to uncoated or zinc-plated bolts, extending service life.

• Precision Engineering: Manufactured to exact shear strength specifications to ensure consistent performance.

• Smooth Surface: Reduces friction and wear, improving performance in moving parts.

Common Applications:

• Agricultural Machinery (combine harvesters, grain augers, balers)

• Material Handling Systems (conveyors, feeders, crushers)

• Industrial & Automotive Equipment (drivelines, gearboxes, PTO shafts)

Advantages Over Standard Bolts:

•  Durability – Harder surface than zinc plating, reducing wear.

Available Variations:

• Different diameters and lengths to fit various equipment.

• Multiple shear strength grades (e.g., Grade 2, Grade 5, or custom specs).

These bolts are commonly used as safety components in equipment where overload protection is critical. If you need help selecting the right shear bolt for your application, let me know!
