โWe replaced our previous tension bolt supplier with Boen. Their clamp load consistency is unmatched โ we saw a 37% reduction in rework on our engine line.โ
โ Marco V., Senior Purchasing Manager, Automotive Tier 1, Germany
โThe thermostat housing bolts from Boen solved our persistent leak issue. Zero failures in the first 18 months across 12,000 units.โ

Q: What is the difference between a tension bolt and a tension control bolt?
A: A tension bolt is a general term for bolts designed to withstand tensile loads. A tension control bolt (TC bolt) has a precision shear-off spline that breaks at a pre-calibrated torque, ensuring consistent clamp load without a torque wrench. Ideal for safety-critical joints.
Q: Can you supply thermostat housing bolts for a custom application?
A: Absolutely. We specialize in OEM/ODM thermostat housing bolts โ send us your drawing or sample, and we'll provide a free engineering review and quote within 48 hours.
Q: What is your minimum order quantity for tension control bolts?
A: For standard sizes, MOQ is 2,000 pcs. For custom designs, MOQ starts at 5,000 pcs. We also offer sample orders (50-200 pcs) for qualification testing.
Q: How do you ensure quality and traceability?
A: Every batch of tension bolts and thermostat housing bolts includes a mill certificate, dimensional report, and hardness test. We are ISO 9001 certified and can provide full batch traceability per your requirements.
Q: What shipping options do you offer for USA/Europe?
A: We ship via sea (FOB/CIF/DDP), air, and express. Typical lead times: samples 7-10 days, production 20-35 days. We have regular consolidation to major ports in the USA, Germany, and the UK.
Q: Do you offer free samples for testing?
A: Yes. For qualified OEMs and distributors, we provide free samples (you pay shipping). We're confident our bolts will outperform your current supplier.
Q: What coatings do you recommend for thermostat housing bolts?
A: For aluminum housings, we recommend ZnNi (zinc-nickel) or Geomet coating โ they provide excellent corrosion resistance and prevent galvanic corrosion. 1,000+ hours salt spray tested.

โWe switched our entire thermostat housing bolt supply to Boen. The quality is consistent, and the delivery is always on time. Highly recommended.โ

Sarah L.
Engineering Manager, Canada
โThe tension control bolts from Boen gave us the clamp load accuracy we needed for our new equipment line. Their technical support is excellent.โ

James R.
Director of Operations, UK
โWe tested samples from three suppliers. Boenโs tension bolts had the lowest variation and the best coating quality. Theyโve earned our business.โ
