Socket Head Cap Screw

As a fastening option, socket head cap screws feature a deep hex recess and thick side walls for durability and reliability. Installed with an Allen wrench or hex key tool, clearance for wrenching is unnecessary, allowing socket head fasteners to sit within the recess of an application and not protrude. Socket head cap screws are ideal for applications requiring heavy-duty and secure fastening.

Flat Socket Head Cap Screw

Also referred to as a countersunk hex head screw, flat socket cap screws are designed with a head that sits flush to the surface or just below the surface of an application. Tapered for a flush fit, flat socket screws are excellent for assemblies where head height is a concern. Flat socket screws are also great for light-duty applications requiring durable coupling, including industrial equipment and electronics.

Button Socket Head Cap Screw

Characterized by a load-bearing surface, button socket head cap screws are sometimes called dome or round hex screws. The rounded head profile is a great safety and aesthetic feature, as these industrial socket fasteners resist snagging on clothing and other materials and items. Button socket screws offer more torque for greater installation force and retain best when used with a washer component.

Socket Set Screws

A completely threaded and headless fastener option, socket set screws are intended for compression applications. Socket set screws are driven into a pre-tapped hole and used to fasten mating parts. Like other industrial socket fasteners, socket set screws can sit flush or inset within an application and are ideal for assemblies where permanent or adjustable components are affixed to shafts.
