1、 Core functional role: Application based on cross-sectional characteristics
The hexagonal cross-section of a hexagonal rod is the key to its functional implementation, giving it unique advantages in terms of stress, assembly, and processing.
1. Core substrate for transmission and connection components
Hexagonal cross-section can transmit torque through surface to surface adhesion, making it an ideal material for making transmission components such as drive shafts, gear blanks, couplings, etc., without slipping.
It can be directly processed into hexagonal bolts, nuts, screws and other fasteners. The hexagonal structure is easy to clamp and tighten with a wrench, and the assembly efficiency is much higher than that of circular section parts.
2. Structural support and positioning components
The multi planar characteristics of hexagonal cross-section make it more stable in positioning, and it can be used as a guide rod, positioning pin, slider, etc. in equipment to ensure that the components are correctly positioned during movement without rotational displacement.
Used for making mechanical frames, brackets, support seats and other structural components, the force distribution of hexagonal cross-section is more uniform. Compared with circular bars of the same specification, it has better torsional and bending strength under the same cross-sectional area.
3. Processing blanks for precision parts
Hexagonal bars have high dimensional accuracy (especially cold drawn hexagonal bars), smooth surfaces, and can be directly used as blanks for precision parts, reducing the amount of subsequent cutting and improving production efficiency.
Suitable for producing high-precision parts such as cutting tools, measuring tools, mold accessories, etc., such as hexagonal milling cutter rods, caliper accessories, mold guide columns, etc., using their cross-sectional regularity to ensure part accuracy.
2、 Main application areas and specific functions
The application of hexagonal bars runs through multiple industries, with different focuses in different fields. The core is to adapt to the industry's requirements for component performance.
