DIN 912 Black Oxide 12.9 Grade High Tensile Hex Socket Cap screws bolt

Allen screws, also known as socket head cap screws, are fasteners with a cylindrical head with a hexagonal groove (socket) on top. They are often used to fasten two or more components together, providing a strong and secure connection. Here are some of the main features and uses of socket head screws: Head design: Allen screws have a smooth rounded head and low profile, allowing them to be used in tight spaces. The socket on the top of the head is designed to accept a hex or allen key for tightening or loosening. Thread Design: These screws have machine threads that run the entire length of the shank. Thread size and pitch can vary depending on specific application and load requirements. Material: Hex socket head screws are available in a variety of materials, including stainless steel, alloy steel, carbon steel and brass. Material selection depends on factors such as strength, corrosion resistance and environmental conditions. Sizes and Lengths: Allen screws come in a variety of sizes and lengths to suit different applications. Common lengths range from 1/8 inch to several inches, and diameters are usually measured in threads per inch or in metric units. Strength and load-bearing capacity: Allen screws are known for their high tensile strength and load-bearing capacity. They are capable of withstanding heavy loads and are commonly used in structural applications, machinery and the automotive industry. Socket Driver: The hex socket on the head of these screws allows for easy and safe tightening or loosening using an Allen key or hex wrench. Socket drive allows for higher torque applications, reducing the risk of stripping or damaging the head. Wide range of applications: Allen screws are widely used in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, construction, electronics and manufacturing. They are commonly used to secure components in machinery, engines, appliances, furniture and other structures. Allen screws provide a reliable and effective way to securely fasten parts together. Unique head design and socket drive allow for easy installation and tightening in applications where space is limited. It is important to select the correct size, material and torque specifications to ensure optimal performance and load carrying capacity.
