Socket Head Cap Screws

Socket Head Cap Screws

Category: Socket Products.
  • Description

Socket capscrews, also known as socket head cap screws or socket cap bolts, are a type of fastener used in various applications. Here are some key characteristics of socket capscrews:

    • Head Style: Socket capscrews have a cylindrical head with a flat top and a recessed hexagonal socket (usually Allen or hex key driven). This design allows for a low-profile appearance and provides a secure grip for the tightening tool.
    • Drive Type: The recessed socket allows for a more efficient transfer of torque during tightening or loosening. Common drives include hex (Allen), Torx, and others.
    • Material: Socket capscrews are available in various materials, including steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel. The choice of material depends on the application and the environmental conditions.
    • Thread Type: They come with various thread types, such as coarse threads or fine threads, depending on the specific requirements of the application.
    • Size and Length: Available in different sizes and lengths, socket capscrews can be selected based on the specific needs of the project or assembly.
    • Application: Socket capscrews are used in a wide range of industries, including machinery, automotive, construction, and electronics. They are often chosen when a low-profile head and high-strength fastening are required.
    • Strength Class: Socket capscrews are graded based on their tensile strength. Common strength classes include 8.8, 10.9, and 12.9. The numbers represent the minimum tensile strength in megapascals (MPa).
    • Finish: They can have various finishes such as plain, zinc-plated, or coated for corrosion resistance.

When using socket capscrews, it’s essential to choose the right size, length, material, and strength class for the specific application to ensure proper and secure fastening.
