• Standard : ISO 10642 / DIN 7991

Applications

Thanks to the countersunk head and hex socket drive, this bolt is suitable for situations where a smooth finish is desired. Common applications include:

• Machine building : Fastening components without protruding parts.
• Furniture industry : Assembly where aesthetics and safety are important.
• Metalworking : Connections that require a clean finish.

Advantages of the countersunk hex socket head bolt

• Clean finish : The head is flush with the surface, resulting in a smooth finish without protruding parts.
• High clamping force : The hex socket drive enables secure fastening without damaging the head.
• Corrosion resistance : The zinc-plated finish provides extra protection against rust.

Installation instructions

For optimal fastening:

• Pre-drilling and countersinking : Ensure a pre-drilled hole with a countersunk opening so the bolt head fits completely into the material.
• Use of Allen key : Use a suitable Allen key for tightening to prevent damage to the drive.

Alternatives and additional products

Depending on the specific application, other fasteners may be considered:

• Cylindrical hex socket screws : Suitable when a countersunk head is not necessary and a more robust grip is desired.
• Low dome head screws : Ideal for situations where the screw head should protrude minimally, but full countersinking is not required.
• Self-locking hex socket screws : Recommended for applications with vibrations to prevent loosening.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a countersunk screw and a cylindrical hex socket screw?

A countersunk screw has a tapered head that sits completely flush with the material, while a cylindrical screw has a straight, cylindrical head that remains on the surface.

How do I ensure proper countersinking in the material?

For the correct fit, the material should be pre-drilled and countersunk with a countersink bit. This ensures the screw sits fully and evenly in the surface.

Are countersunk screws suitable for heavy loads?

Yes, but the clamping force is mainly determined by the diameter and material of the screw. For extra strength, high-strength steel variants or self-locking screws can be used.

How can I protect countersunk screws from dirt and corrosion?

Use hex socket caps to protect the hex socket from dirt and moisture. This is especially useful in outdoor environments or industrial applications.
