Socket screws, also known as
Allen head screws or bolts, have a hexagonal (hex) internal drive built
into the head and are tightened and loosened with an Allen wrench or hex
key. They are used in applications where a strong bolt or screw is
needed but access is limited. Socket screws are available in standard
sizes, custom sizes, or special products manufactured to customer
drawings Socket
screws are often recessed below the surface of the part to reduce
danger when part rotate. Also known as
counter boring and counter sinking. |
