Which threaded fastener is generally assembled into a non-threaded through hole?

A bolt is the type of threaded fastener that is generally assembled into a non-threaded through hole. Bolts are designed to fit through these holes and typically work in conjunction with a nut that is threaded onto the end of the bolt. The assembly process involves placing the bolt through the hole and then securing it with a nut on the opposite side to create a tight grip. This allows for the joining of two or more components effectively.

In the context of fastening applications, bolts are commonly used when there is access to only one side of the material being fastened, which makes them ideal for non-threaded through holes. This contrasts with screws, which are usually inserted into pre-threaded holes, and nuts, which require an accompanying bolt or stud for fastening. Studs are often employed in applications where threads are needed on both ends but are not typically assembled into a non-threaded hole as bolts are.
