# Nonstandard Precision Machining # Turning Processing What is a hexagonal pillar?

Hexagonal struts, also known as hexagonal studs or hexagonal isolation posts, are mechanical connection components with a hexagonal cross-sectional shape.

It usually has the following characteristics and uses:

• Features:

• The length and thread can be specified according to needs to adapt to different usage environments;

• There are a variety of materials to choose from, such as general structural steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, brass, resin, etc.;

• Products made of materials with good rust-proof properties (such as stainless steel SUS304) can be widely used in precision equipment and dust-free environments;

• There are many places where the wrench can be used. Even in a small space, the wrench can be used to tighten at 60° intervals.

• Purpose: Its main functions include connecting, fastening, supporting, separating, etc. It is often used in various frame structures as connecting and supporting components. For example, it plays a role in fixing, supporting or isolating different components in computer cases, motherboards of electronic equipment, etc.

In practical applications, it is necessary to select hexagonal pillars of appropriate materials and specifications according to specific usage scenarios and requirements, and pay attention to the selection and maintenance of their fastening methods and anti-rust specifications. For example, tightening should be carried out within the tightening torque range to prevent thread breakage caused by excessive torque; if there are requirements for anti-corrosion performance, you can choose products made of stainless steel (such as SUS304), and choose carbon products with weaker anti-corrosion properties. When made of steel, it is recommended to store it in a dry environment with constant temperature and regularly apply anti-rust oil for maintenance.
