Product Overview
Wind power station bolts are ultra-high-strength, high-toughness special fasteners engineered exclusively for wind turbine equipment and wind farm infrastructure, adapting to the harsh working conditions of wind power projects (high altitude, offshore, strong wind vibration, extreme temperature difference). Compliant with national wind power industry standards and international fastener specifications, these bolts are the core connection components for wind turbine towers, nacelles, hubs, blades, and foundation structures. They feature excellent fatigue resistance, anti-loosening performance, and corrosion resistance, ensuring the long-term stable and safe operation of wind power equipment (design service life ≥20 years) under continuous dynamic load, strong wind impact and complex environmental conditions.
Key Characteristics
- Ultra-high strength & high toughness: Adopt high-grade alloy steel with precise quenching-tempering heat treatment; balance ultra-high tensile/yield strength with excellent impact toughness, resistant to repeated dynamic load and wind vibration fatigue.
- Superior fatigue resistance: Precision thread rolling (instead of tapping) and stress relief treatment, eliminate thread stress concentration; meet the wind power industry's strict fatigue test standards (≥2×10⁶ load cycles).
- Enhanced corrosion protection: Multi-layer anti-corrosion surface treatment (e.g., H.D.G + sealing, zinc-aluminum alloy plating) for onshore wind farms; duplex stainless steel + Dacromet for offshore/coastal wind farms, resistant to salt spray, humidity and atmospheric corrosion.
- Anti-loosening design: Special thread tolerance matching, serrated flange base, and pre-applied anti-seize lubricant; paired with high-strength lock nuts/wedge washers, effectively preventing loosening under long-term strong vibration.
- Large-spec & heavy-duty customization: Support over-length (≤2000mm), large-diameter (≤M100) and heavy hex structural bolt customization, adapted to the heavy-load connection of wind turbine towers and nacelles.
- Strict dimensional accuracy: High-precision machining for bolt head, shank and thread; strict control of perpendicularity, coaxiality and torque matching, ensuring uniform load distribution of connection nodes.
Main Types & Application Positions
Wind power station bolts are classified by application positions of wind turbine equipment, with targeted structural design for each key node:
Tower Bolts (Flange/Torque Type):
Heavy hex flange bolts/10.9/12.9 grade torque bolts, used for flange connection of wind turbine tower sections (bottom, middle, top tower); core for bearing the overall weight and wind load of the turbine, requiring ultra-high shear and tensile strength.
01
Nacelle & Hub Bolts:
High-precision 12.9 grade stud bolts/heavy hex bolts, applied to nacelle base, gearbox, generator and hub connections; resistant to high-speed rotation vibration and dynamic load, with strict fatigue resistance requirements.
02
Blade Bolts:
Stainless steel/weathering steel flange bolts with anti-loosening serrations, used for blade root and hub connection; lightweight and high-strength, adapted to the frequent swing of blades under strong wind.
03
Foundation Bolts (Anchor Bolts):
Over-length large-diameter stud bolts/M36–M100 anchor bolts, fixed in the concrete foundation of wind turbines; bear the vertical pressure and horizontal wind load of the entire equipment, with excellent corrosion and pull-out resistance.
04
Auxiliary Structural Bolts:
8.8 grade zinc-plated bolts, used for wind farm auxiliary facilities (power distribution cabinets, guardrails, equipment brackets); cost-effective and adaptable to on-site construction conditions.

Application Fields
Exclusive for onshore and offshore wind power projects worldwide, covering the entire wind turbine equipment and wind farm infrastructure:
Wind turbine manufacturing:
Factory assembly of wind turbine nacelles, gearboxes, generators and blade root components (precision matching bolts for industrial assembly).
Onshore wind farms:
Plain land, mountainous, high-altitude wind turbine tower, nacelle, blade and foundation connections (adapt to extreme temperature difference, strong wind and dry/humid atmospheric conditions).
Offshore/coastal wind farms:
Offshore wind turbine (monopile, jacket type) underwater and above-water connection nodes, adapted to salt spray corrosion, tidal impact and high humidity.
Wind power auxiliary facilities:
Wind farm transformer stations, power transmission brackets, equipment maintenance platforms and guardrail structural connections.
Usage Precautions (Wind Power Industry Special Requirements)
Professional Installation: Must be installed by certified wind power construction personnel; use calibrated torque wrenches/bolt tensioners for pre-tightening by torque/tension method, strictly following the wind turbine manufacturer's torque values (two-stage tightening required).
Matching Fasteners: Exclusively pair with wind power special high-strength nuts (8H/10H) and hardened washers of the same grade; do not mix with ordinary standard fasteners to avoid uneven load and connection failure.
Anti-Seize & Lubrication: Apply wind power special high-temperature anti-seize lubricant on threads before installation; prevent thread galling and seizing during tightening, and ensure accurate torque transmission.
Environmental Adaptation: Onshore wind farms use H.D.G + sealing bolts; offshore/coastal wind farms must adopt duplex stainless steel or zinc-aluminum alloy plating bolts with heavy anti-corrosion treatment, and conduct regular anti-corrosion inspection.
Strict Forbiddance of Reuse: After disassembly (for maintenance), all wind power station bolts are strictly prohibited from reuse; fatigue damage under long-term dynamic load will cause hidden safety hazards even if no obvious damage is seen.
Regular Inspection & Maintenance: Conduct torque recheck and visual inspection every 6–12 months (offshore wind farms every 3 months); check for bolt loosening, corrosion, thread damage and flange deformation, and replace defective bolts immediately with original factory matching products.
Storage & Transportation: Store bolts in a dry, ventilated anti-rust warehouse; avoid collision and scratch of surface anti-corrosion coating during transportation; large-diameter over-length bolts need special support to prevent bending deformation.
