HEX SOCKET CAP SCREW

DIN 912 is a German standard that specifies the technical requirements for socket head cap screws. Known for their internal hex drive and cylindrical head shape, these screws are widely used in various mechanical and engineering applications, offering a reliable and strong fastening solution. DIN 912 serves as a foundational guide for the manufacturing and use of socket head cap screws, ensuring their dimensional accuracy, material quality, and performance characteristics. DIN 912 aligns with international standards established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The corresponding ISO standard for socket head cap screws is ISO 4762, which provides globally recognized requirements for these essential fasteners. The alignment with ISO standards ensures that socket head cap screws manufactured according to ISO 4762 conform to international benchmarks for quality, dimensions, and material properties, facilitating their use in a wide range of mechanical and engineering applications across different markets worldwide. The standard outlines specific dimensional requirements for socket head cap screws, covering thread sizes ranging from M1.6 to M36. These dimensions, including thread length, shank diameter, and head diameter, are meticulously detailed to ensure the screws’ compatibility with different components, as well as their ability to provide secure and precise fastening in various mechanical and structural systems. In addition to dimensional specifications, DIN 912 addresses the material properties and mechanical characteristics of socket head cap screws. These screws are typically manufactured from high-strength alloy steels to provide the necessary tensile strength, hardness, and resistance to mechanical stresses. The standard specifies material grades and heat treatment processes to ensure that the screws meet the required performance standards and can withstand the loads and forces they are subjected to in diverse applications. Socket head cap screws specified by DIN 912 are essential components in various mechanical and structural systems. Their internal hex drive allows for efficient torque transmission during installation and removal, while their cylindrical head shape provides a smooth and low-profile surface, making them suitable for applications where a strong and aesthetically pleasing fastening solution is required.
