A custom bolt drawing must give the supplier enough information to quote, manufacture, inspect, and pack the part correctly. A simple sketch with “M20 bolt” is not enough for production.
In real sourcing, many custom bolt problems come from missing details. The bolt shape may be clear, but the thread length, tolerance, material, grade, coating, or inspection requirement is not. That creates quotation delays, wrong samples, or failed assembly after delivery.
For drawing-based orders, buyers should treat the drawing as the main technical contract.
Basic Information Every Custom Bolt Drawing Needs
A custom bolt drawing should clearly define the geometry, material, strength, surface finish, and acceptance criteria.
| 绘图项目 | 需要指定什么 | 为什么它很重要 |
|---|---|---|
| 产品名称 | Custom bolt, anchor bolt, shoulder bolt, U-bolt, etc. | Defines the part type |
| 标准参考 | DIN, ISO, ASTM, ANSI, or “made to drawing” | Helps compare with standard fasteners |
| 直径 | Nominal and actual critical diameter | Controls fit and strength |
| 总长 | 螺栓总长度 | Affects assembly depth |
| 螺距 | 公制、UNC、UNF或特殊螺纹 | 防止螺母错配 |
| 螺纹长度 | 全螺纹或部分螺纹 | 控制参与度 |
| 头型 | Hex, square, round, socket, special head | 影响工具和间隙 |
| 材质 | Carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, etc. | 控制强度和耐腐蚀性 |
| 等级/班 | 8.8、10.9、12.9、B7、A2-70等 | 定义机械性能 |
| 表面光洁度 | 镀锌、HDG、黑色氧化、达克罗、普通 | 控制腐蚀和螺纹配合 |

Critical Dimensions to Mark
Thread and Shank Details
Thread information must be complete. Do not write only “M16” if the thread pitch is important.
包括:
- 大径
- 螺距
- 螺纹长度
- 柄长
- Chamfer or thread start
- 螺纹公差(如果需要)
- 配套螺母要求
Head and Special Features
For non-standard heads, mark all working dimensions. This includes head height, across flats, socket depth, hole diameter, radius, groove, slot, bend angle, or welded feature.
If the part is not available as a catalog item, 定制非标紧固件 should be quoted with a complete drawing or approved sample.
Material, Grade and Finish Requirements
Material and strength should not be assumed from appearance.
| 要求 | 示例 |
|---|---|
| 材质 | 40Cr, SCM440, 304, 316, carbon steel |
| 强度等级 | Class 8.8, 10.9, 12.9, ASTM A193 B7 |
| 热处理 | Quenched and tempered, if required |
| 表面光洁度 | Zinc plated, hot-dip galvanized, Dacromet |
| Test documents | MTC, hardness test, tensile test, inspection report |
对于高负载应用,请查看 高强度紧固件 and define mechanical testing before production.
Common Drawing Mistakes
避免这些问题:
- Missing thread pitch.
- No tolerance on critical dimensions.
- Material listed but no strength grade.
- Coating not clearly defined.
- No matching nut or washer information.
- Drawing does not match the physical sample.
- Revision number missing.
- No inspection or certificate requirement.

最终RFQ清单
Before sending a custom bolt drawing, confirm:
- Drawing version and unit system
- Size, thread, head, and special features
- Material, grade, heat treatment, and coating
- Quantity and tolerance
- 应用环境
- 所需证书和检验报告
- Packaging and labeling needs
A good custom bolt drawing reduces guessing. It helps the supplier quote faster, produce more accurately, and inspect the final parts against clear requirements.
