AVIATIONEU NEW ERA AN Close Tolerance Machine Bolts SKU: AVEUNE-BLT-MCN-AN/CLTLR

Close tolerance bolts, designed with a greater emphasis on measurement accuracy than other types of bolts, are commonly used in the aerospace manufacturing industry. They are threaded fasteners with a shank and head and a tolerance of just +0.000, -0.0005 inch as an acceptable range of variance. The shank is threaded, thus allowing them to be driven into a threaded hole. They intend to eliminate problems appearing when using traditional bolts which have a greater acceptable range of variance. Close tolerance bolts have closer shank tolerances than that of traditional bolts and fit more securely in threaded holes. For some fastening applications, traditional bolts may suffice. For sensitive fastening applications in which precision is required, close tolerance bolts are typically used. When selecting close tolerance instead of traditional bolts the drive type should be considered. Most close tolerance bolts have a recess within their head that supports a specific bit, such as a Phillips head bit. Regarding their threading, all close tolerance bolts, as well as traditional bolts, have threading. But the way in which the threading is designed may vary. Some bolts have more threading on their shank than others, and some bolts have finer threading than others.

Close tolerance bolts are offered in different materials with high-carbon steel being a common material used in their construction. 

Army & Navy (AN) close tolerance bolts are offered as part of our own labelled (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) lines of fasteners. They are sourced from quality manufacturers and structured in different series (AN 173/174/175/176/178/180).

The following letters after the basic part numbers specify the material, finish and drilling condition of these bolts.

First Number after AN Basic designates the Diameter. 

"-" for Steel, Cad II plated, no head hole

"C" in place of (-) for Corrosion Resistant Steel (CRES)

"H" in place of (-) or after (C) for bolts with a head hole

"A" In the end of the PN  for bolts with no shank hole
