Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications for shoulder bolt NF 016158?
A: NF 016158 is a 5/16 inch diameter shoulder bolt with .296 inch shoulder length, zinc plated with epoxy coating. This shorter shoulder length is used in thinner frame or deck applications compared to the .410 inch variant.
Q: What gravity conveyor components use NF 016158?
A: NF 016158 is used in gravity conveyor assemblies where thinner material or closer spacing requires a shorter shoulder. Confirm your equipment blueprint specifies .296 inch shoulder length before ordering to avoid fitting issues.
Q: Why does shoulder length matter on NF 016158?
A: Shoulder length determines the fastener height above the mounting surface. Using incorrect shoulder length causes misalignment, loose connections, or interference with adjacent components. The .296 inch shoulder on NF 016158 fits thin-frame applications precisely.
Q: Is NF 016158 compatible with NF 016157 installations?
A: No. NF 016158 has a shorter .296 inch shoulder versus NF 016157 at .410 inch. Installing the wrong shoulder length creates improper bearing support and fastener failure. Use only the shoulder length specified for your equipment.
Q: What material is the epoxy coating on NF 016158?
A: NF 016158 features a zinc plated base with epoxy topcoat for corrosion resistance. This combination protects against rust in wet gravity conveyor environments. Do not use in applications without coating protection unless equipment design specifies bare steel.
