Elevator bolts with a 3/8" diameter are commonly used to attach elevator buckets to conveyor belts in bucket elevator systems.

The key features of 3/8" elevator bolts are:

• Diameter: 3/8 inch (9.5 mm)
• Thread Pitch: 16 threads per inch (1.5875 mm pitch)
• Head Style: Flat countersunk head that sits flush with the belt surface
• Neck Style: Square neck under the head to resist rotation when the nut is tightened
• Materials: Commonly available in plain carbon steel, zinc plated steel, or stainless steel (e.g. 18-8 stainless)
• Strength: Grade 2 or higher steel bolts are required for elevator applications to provide the necessary strength

The 3/8" diameter is a popular size for elevator bolts as it provides a good balance of strength and ease of installation. The square neck design helps prevent the bolt from spinning when the nut is tightened, which is crucial for the reliable attachment of elevator buckets to the conveyor belt. Stainless steel versions are often used in corrosive or high-temperature environments.
