Description
Also known as an Allen screw or Allen bolt, or simply a cap screw. Socket Head Cap screws are a more modern alternative standard machine fastener to the standard hexagon headed bolt or setscrew, as found on much modern machinery. A hex key (otherwise known as an Allen key) is required to fit these fasteners. Conforming to DIN 912 or ISO 4762.
Applications
Although uses may vary, as standard, these screws are fasteners for industrial equipment or machines which require parts to be fixed onto a surface or together. The socket will need to be the same metric thread as the screw itself. As an example, some of the types of uses would be:
• Fasteners and fixings
• Machine tooling and repair
• Security guarding
• Electronic applications
• Automotive industry
• Domestic applications
• Medical applications
• Facilities and maintenance applications
