Mating Bolt: Thread Size M6 x 1.0 mm, Length 20-40 mm

Component Specifications

Definition

The mating bolt is a critical threaded fastener component in precision furniture cam lock systems, engineered to engage with a cam mechanism to create a strong, hidden joint between furniture panels. It typically features a cylindrical body with machine threads, a slotted or hex head for installation, and precise dimensional tolerances to ensure proper alignment and torque transmission during the locking operation.

Working Principle

The mating bolt works by threading into a pre-drilled hole in one furniture panel, then engaging with a rotating cam in the opposing panel. When the cam is turned (usually with a hex key), it pulls the bolt inward, drawing the panels together tightly to form a rigid, flush joint without visible fasteners.

Materials

Typically made from medium-carbon steel (e.g., AISI 1035/1045) or stainless steel (e.g., AISI 304/316) for corrosion resistance, often with zinc plating, galvanization, or black oxide coating for durability and aesthetics.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of a mating bolt in furniture cam locks?

It provides a threaded connection point that engages with a cam mechanism to pull furniture panels together tightly, creating strong, invisible joints.

Can mating bolts be reused?

Yes, if undamaged, but repeated disassembly may wear threads; inspect for deformation or stripping before reuse.
