Metric DIN 912 Socket Head Cap Screws

Socket head cap screws have a recessed hexagonal socket. The metric socket head cap screws fall under the DIN 912 metric specification and are available in 8.8, 10.9, 12.9 in alloy steel, and A2 & A4 in stainless steel. The metric socket head cap screws in grade 12.9 are a high strength bolt with 1220 MPa minimum tensile strength or 176,000 psi. Some industry professionals refer to these fasteners as Allen bolts. They are an excellent solution for locations that don’t allow room for conventional wrenches. At Brazos Fasteners, we offer a large range of specs and sizes, including metric socket head cap screws.

The Benefits of Metric Socket Head Cap Screws

Socket head cap screws offer unique advantages over other fasteners:

  • Recessed installation: No exterior clamping is necessary, so socket head screws can slide effortlessly into a counterbored hole.
  • Simplicity: With the appropriate hex wrench fitting snugly into place, tightening these fasteners is fast and easy.
  • Clamping force: The distinctive head shape for socket head screws delivers increased clamping force and torque.
  • Weight savings: More tensile strength and clamping power translate into fewer bolts and lighter overall weight of fasteners.
  • Sleek appearance: A flush mounting surface is attractive for consumer goods and improves safety considerations in industrial applications.

Metric fasteners allow global businesses to streamline operations, simplify repairs and integrations, and ensure international clients are happy.
