Socket Cap Head
A socket cap head bolt, also known as a socket head cap screw, is a type of fastener distinguished by its cylindrical head and a hexagonal drive hole. This design allows the bolt to be driven with a hex wrench or Allen key. Here are some key details about socket cap head bolts:
Key Features:
Head Shape: The head is cylindrical with a flat top, providing a clean, flush surface when installed.
Hexagonal Drive: The hex drive socket in the head allows for the application of high torque without damaging the bolt, which is particularly useful in precision applications.
Threading: These bolts are typically fully or partially threaded and are available in various lengths and thread sizes to suit different needs.
Material: Commonly made from high-strength materials like alloy steel, stainless steel, or titanium to handle high levels of stress and strain.
Applications:
Machinery and Equipment: Frequently used in the assembly of machinery and equipment where precise and strong fastening is required.
Automotive: Used in automotive applications for assembling engines, suspensions, and other critical components.
Electronics: Utilized in electronic devices where space is limited, and a flush head is necessary.
Furniture: Often used in flat-pack furniture assembly for a neat and clean finish.
Advantages:
High Strength: Designed to withstand high levels of torque and stress.
Precision: The hex socket design allows for precise tightening, reducing the risk of overtightening or stripping.
Aesthetic: Provides a clean and professional appearance, as the head sits flush with or below the surface of the material.
