How much angle can a shoulder bolt take?

  1. No angle is allowed

  2. Up to 5 degrees

  3. Up to 10 degrees

  4. Variable depending on the size

The correct answer is: Variable depending on the size

Shoulder bolts are designed to allow for angular movement in applications where there may be slight misalignment between components. This means that the amount of angle a shoulder bolt can take may vary depending on the size and design of the bolt. Option A is incorrect because shoulder bolts are specifically designed to accommodate some amount of angle. Option B and C are also incorrect as they provide limited ranges of angles, whereas in reality the amount of angle a shoulder bolt can take may vary widely depending on the specific application. Therefore, option D is the best answer as it correctly acknowledges the variability in the amount of angle a shoulder bolt can take.
