Flat head hexagon socket screw is a commonly used fastening element, characterized by the following aspects:
1, Appearance and structural characteristics
1. Flat head design:
• Head shape: The head of a flat head hexagonal screw is flat, which allows the screw to be flush or almost flush with the surface being connected after installation.
Application scenario: Due to the flat head, flat head hexagonal screws are particularly suitable for devices or occasions with high appearance requirements, such as precision instruments, electronic device casings, etc., which can avoid protruding screw heads and affect overall aesthetics.
• Protective function: The flat head design can also prevent damage to the screw head caused by collision or friction with other objects during equipment operation.
2. Hexagonal shape:
• Drive structure: The interior of the flat head hexagonal screw adopts a hexagonal drive structure, which is one of its highlights.
• Torque transmission: The design of the inner hexagon has better torque transmission performance compared to traditional structures such as the outer hexagon or cross groove. When using an internal hexagonal wrench for tightening operations, the wrench fits more tightly with the internal hexagonal hole, which can effectively transmit torque to the screw, thereby achieving more precise tightening force control.
• Easy disassembly: The hex wrench can effectively loosen the already tightened flat head hex screws, and because its head is flat, it will not easily cause obstruction or damage to surrounding components after disassembly like some screws with protruding heads.
2, Material and strength grade
There are various materials for flat head hexagonal screws, including stainless steel and carbon steel (including low carbon steel, medium carbon steel, high carbon steel). Screws made of different materials have varying strengths and corrosion resistance to meet the needs of different application scenarios.
Stainless steel material: It has good corrosion resistance and is suitable for harsh environments such as humidity and corrosiveness.
Carbon steel material: Depending on the carbon content, it has different strength and hardness. Low carbon steel screws have lower strength and are suitable for situations where strength requirements are not high; Medium carbon steel and high carbon steel screws have high strength and are suitable for applications that require bearing large loads.
In addition, there are various strength grades for flat head hex screws, such as 4.8, 8.8, 10.9, 12.9, etc. The higher the strength grade, the higher the tensile strength and yield strength of the screw.
3, Specifications and dimensions
The specifications and sizes of flat head hexagonal screws are diverse to meet the needs of different equipment and occasions. Common specifications include M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, M12, etc. The pitch and head diameter may also vary depending on the specifications.
In summary, flat head hexagonal screws play an important role in the field of fastening components due to their unique design and many advantages.
