Socket Head Cap Screw Review
When attaching applications of different kinds it’s important to choose the exact type of fasteners. You’re sure to know that every type is meant to carry a specific function. In this post I’ll talk about socket head cap screws.
I’m sure many of you are familiar with socket cap screws. But still for those who need to find out their specific functions let’s review them and their peculiarities.
A socket head cap screw differs from usual screws by having a cylindrical head with an hexagonal recess, which is screwed and unscrewed by means of a hex key, also known as an Allen wrench. This type is mainly used in mounting processes where the use of other types of screws is impossible because of insufficient room for a standard wrench.
The use of socket head cap screws is widespread in the aircraft manufacturing industry. This is because they provide the maximum resistance in applications that are attached. Nevertheless, they’re available for other industries as well and come in specific dimensions according to ANSI, ASTM, ISO or other national and international standard organizations.
If you’re planning a serious construction job, you should consult a specialized fastener company for making your construction as sound and long-lasting as possible.
